Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 213 Solution Walkthrough

Read The Stair Stack And Right-Hand Exit

Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 213 arranges its cars like a staircase. A tall stack of short shelves rises on the left, progressively longer rows extend toward the right, and one vertical road runs down the far-right edge before turning across the bottom. Four large garage banks sit below the staircase, with two smaller numbered garages near the lower-left corner. Every shelf must feed the same right-hand exit.

The opening makes the upper pink shelves look convenient, but cars from those shelves have the longest trip to the road. Lower yellow, cyan, green, and purple groups are positioned closer to the bottom turn and control whether the vertical exit remains open. The safest solution releases the staircase in bands, clearing a usable lower route before emptying the top.

The replay confirms this progression:

lower cyan/blue pocket -> yellow vertical group -> green lower-middle row -> red right shelves -> purple middle -> pink upper shelves -> numbered left garages -> cream, orange, purple, and green bottom cleanup

The exact first two colors depend on which exposed group has a clear garage, but the lower-before-upper logic should not change. Do not send a top pink batch while a lower car is stopped on the right vertical road.

Establish The Bottom Turn

Begin with the exposed cyan or blue cars nearest the lower-right portion of the staircase. They have the shortest route into the vertical lane and can clear the bottom turn. Yellow is the next important group: a tall yellow column stands near the lower-left side of the staircase and must eventually cross the bottom before climbing the right edge.

Move one group completely. If cyan is on the right lane, wait until it reaches the garage before yellow enters. The bottom horizontal segment is too short to hold both colors.

Green follows from the lower-middle shelves. Clearing green removes a broad blocker beneath the red rows and creates a clean platform for the middle phase. Purple cars visible near the lower-right shelf should wait until green has stopped using the turn.

Opening checkpoints:

1. cyan/blue clears the bottom-right pocket;
2. yellow crosses the bottom without another color behind it;
3. green leaves the lower-middle row;
4. the right vertical road becomes visibly empty before red starts.

If yellow stalls, finish yellow from its vertical group instead of opening a numbered garage. Those garages also use the bottom turn and cannot rescue blocked traffic.

Work Up The Staircase In Color Bands

After the lower route opens, move red from the right-facing shelves. Red sits close to the vertical road and clearing it shortens the staircase from the exit side. Keep red together until the road is free.

Purple is the next middle checkpoint. Purple appears in several short rows and may also be visible in a bottom garage. Combine those groups only when the active road color is already purple. Otherwise, clear the staircase purple first and leave the bottom reserve closed.

The upper pink shelves should wait until red, green, and purple have reduced the rows beneath them. Pink has many cars and needs the full right-hand lane. The replay shows pink becoming a clean set of upper bands late in the route, when the lower steps are already open. Send the exposed pink rows from the exit side inward rather than tapping the far-left top row first.

A safe stair progression looks like this:

• red leaves the right shelf;
• green is no longer blocking the row beneath the pink stack;
• purple clears the middle step;
• pink consolidates into full upper rows;
• the lower road contains no other color when pink begins.

If pink enters early and blocks red, stop all new taps. Complete whichever color has already travelled farther down the right edge. Then finish the second color before returning to the staircase.

Open The Numbered Garages After The Staircase Shrinks

Two small numbered garages sit left of the tall yellow group, and four larger banks line the bottom. Their front colors are visible, but their deeper layers are not. These are late reserves. Opening several at once fills the bottom road with cars that have no alternate exit.

After the staircase has reduced, open one numbered bank. Finish its visible color before lowering the counter again. If a new layer matches a color already travelling, complete the combined batch. If it changes color, pause and let the road clear.

The four large bottom banks resolve into cream, orange, purple, and green columns during the late route. Clear them from the bank whose mouth faces the empty bottom segment. Cream and orange often use the left side first; purple and green can follow once the right edge is fully open.

Do not alternate cars from adjacent banks. Even though the garages stand side by side, their cars immediately merge onto one horizontal lane. One full column at a time is the fastest and safest cleanup.

Replay Checkpoints And Recovery

The replay provides three reliable board states. Early, the staircase remains tall but the bottom cyan/yellow route is active. In the middle, red and green rows have shortened and purple controls the central step. Late, the upper pink shelves are clean horizontal bands while the four bottom garages display full single-color columns.

Compare your board to those states rather than expecting every counter value to match. If the right vertical road is clear and the same broad area has opened, the route is still recoverable.

For a blocked right edge:

1. stop tapping upper shelves;
2. identify the color farthest down the edge;
3. complete that color from its existing row;
4. wait for the bottom turn to empty;
5. return to the lowest unfinished stair step.

For a blocked bottom road, stop opening garage counters. Finish the active bottom-bank color, then clear any staircase car waiting at the turn before revealing another layer.

The common late mistake is starting green from the final bottom bank while pink still descends from the upper shelves. Pink must finish first because it has the longer route and occupies the vertical edge. Green then has a direct cleanup path.

Level 213 is a height-order puzzle. Lower groups secure the bottom turn, right-facing middle rows open the exit, upper pink shelves use the cleared vertical lane, and the numbered garages finish through an empty road. Following the staircase from its exit backward prevents the long right edge from becoming a mixed queue and makes the final four garage columns straightforward.
