What to look at first
This is a clue-reading puzzle, not a speed challenge. The official store confirms that shelves can depend on hidden clues, special items, or information learned elsewhere in the workshop, so inspect the surrounding space before committing to an order.
Spoiler level 1
Hint
Look for the color reference board and any powders or objects that appear to belong with it. The shelf is asking you to apply a clue, not build a rainbow.
Spoiler level 2
The sorting rule
Return the clue items first, then use the board to translate them into a shelf order. The exact relationship still needs an in-game capture, so avoid claiming the sequence is simply hue, brightness, or alphabetic order.
Step by step
Work through the clue
- 01
Find the reference board
Use the chart beside the shelf as the primary clue instead of relying on bottle appearance alone.
- 02
Return the powders
A community solution lead indicates that displaced powders complete the clue setup.
- 03
Read the relationship
Match each clue item to the corresponding color before arranging the shelf.
- 04
Check the proposed sequence
Reveal the five-color lead only if your reconstructed clue still does not resolve the shelf.
Spoiler level 3
Full solution status
Reveal the proposed order
Red → Blue → Yellow → Brown → Green
Single-source solution lead. The official store confirms hidden-clue puzzles, but it does not publish this five-color sequence.
Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
- Sorting the colors as a conventional rainbow without checking the board.
- Ignoring clue items that were moved elsewhere in the workshop.
- Publishing or sharing the proposed sequence without its provisional label.
In-game fallback
When to use the cat hint
If the missing object or clue still is not clear, pet a magical cat and ask for help. The game can point to missing potions, highlight clue objects, or reveal part of a solution without adding a timer or penalty.
