Car Sort Level 18 Solution Walkthrough

Video Analysis Notes

This guide was rewritten from the dense frame sheets for Level 18, not from the earlier batch template. I reviewed the first solve and the replay frames, then described the visible color batches and blockers in the order they appear.

The first solve shows this practical order:

yellow -> green -> pink -> red -> cyan -> purple -> orange -> blue cleanup

Level Overview

Level 18 is built around three horizontal parking rows inside a left-side loop. Yellow and green open the lower and left sides, pink forms an early horizontal blocker, and red/cyan/purple/orange take over once the center is open.

The main blocker is the pink middle row and the left-side loop entrance. The solution works by opening that route one color group at a time.

Goal

Clear every car by sending each same-color group into its matching garage while keeping the main road clear enough for the next group.

Main Strategy

Follow the visible batches instead of tapping every available car. Start with the color that opens the road, then clear the color sitting behind that opening. When a horizontal row, vertical road, or connector empties, use it as a temporary buffer for the next batch.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1: Start with yellow at the lower-left route

The video moves yellow early from the top and bottom lanes. Yellow opens the bottom-left route and prevents the lower stacks from being sealed off.

Step 2: Move green through the left side

Green follows as the next road opener. It travels along the left edge and clears the path for cars sitting behind the horizontal rows.

Step 3: Clear the pink horizontal row

Pink is one of the clearest blockers in this level. Clearing the pink row opens a broad middle lane and turns the board from crowded to workable.

Step 4: Send red through the outer loop

Red becomes safe after yellow, green, and pink have made space. Move the red cars around the left loop and top row before switching to deeper colors.

Step 5: Move cyan from the middle

Cyan sits in the central rows and bottom stacks. Clear it after red so it can pass through the middle without blocking the pink/orange lanes.

Step 6: Finish with purple, orange, and blue

Purple and orange become clean late-game groups once the middle is open. Blue is mostly a final cleanup color in the lower-right/top stacks.

Recommended Order Summary

Use this color-batch route:

yellow -> green -> pink -> red -> cyan -> purple -> orange -> blue cleanup

This is not an exact coordinate-by-coordinate tap list. If a color is blocked, clear the car sitting at the road mouth first, then return to the sequence.

Key Tips

• Do not mix random colors on the main road.
• Keep one newly emptied lane available as a buffer.
• Clear the row or road mouth that blocks the next visible batch.
• Move same-color cars together whenever the route is open.
• Use the replay frames to confirm the same order if you need to reset.

Why This Solution Works

The route works because each color batch removes the blocker for the next one. The opening group creates road space, the middle groups clear the crowded rows, and the final groups can move directly once the board has enough empty lanes.
