Step-by-step solution
- 1) Send down the textured Pink box at the bottom right of the Top Tray and the textured Dark Blue box in the bottom row's center-left, both landing in their matching active bottom Boxes.
- 2) That clears the front line, exposes the solid Pink, Yellow, and Purple boxes sitting behind it, and makes several neighboring Hidden Boxes playable, so leave the textured Light Blue and White alone for now.
- 3) Find two matches hugging the Blue Iced Box at the base of the center diamond and drop those adjacent boxes to shatter the ice and free the center.
- 4) Prioritize clearing any exposed Red marbles, since three different bottom stacks need Red early, and work upward toward the Red Iced Box sitting on the left side.
- 5) Clearing a box right under the bottom-left Tunnel turns it on, so keep at least three open belt slots before firing any Tunnel since its two ejected colors are a surprise.
- 6) After the center-right stack sheds its Dark Blue and shows a Red, clear that center-right Red next, and avoid triggering the center-left Mystery Box yet.
- 7) Climb along the Top Tray's right flank to smash the Yellow Iced Box, which opens the top-right Tunnel, then begin draining the textured Light Blue and White boxes for the far-right bottom stack.
- 8) Finally, trigger the lower-stack Mystery Boxes one at a time, clearing the required color and emptying the belt before letting the next one drop into place.

sphere Sort Level 397 is an absolute grinder.
This board looks innocent until one peel rear this first tier plus realize how tightly locked the middle is.

Just above them rests one solid violet, one Pink, a Hidden Box , and a Yellow.
one hold some enormous piece from grey secret Boxes protecting four central Iced Boxes .
here sits one crimson Iced case over this west, one emerald one onto upper, one azure one at this lower, and a Yellow one on the right.
Remember, some Iced case shall just shatter plus activate if two neighboring cases are dropped first.
one have four Tunnels marked with a "2".
One sits hugging this lower west corner, one over this far west wall, one over this upper east, and one on the middle right edge.
When this head case drops, they spit out two more boxes.
the bottom Boxes dictate the entire early game.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 397?
The biggest mistake is tapping colors that have no active bottom Box yet. They park on your Conveyor Belt and burn limited slots, so clear the shades that actually have receivers first.
How should I open Level 397?
Ignore the upper layers and aim at the bottom row of the Top Tray. Feed the colors that already have open boxes, then work upward once the lower lanes shift.
When does the midgame color change happen in Level 397?
After the opening boxes fall, the lower columns swap what they demand. Watch for the new shades and only pull blocks that match a box sitting at the front of a lower lane.
Any tip for finishing Level 397 clean?
Keep at least a few empty belt slots before poking mystery or hidden boxes. Feed a revealed color the moment it matches an active box, and fall back to visible marbles when the belt gets tight.
