Car Sort Level 23 Solution Walkthrough
Route Reference
Key opening, middle, and finish positions for this route.
Keeping The Wide Center Open
The wide middle road separates two tower banks but provides no useful storage. Clear the exposed red, blue, and green above it, then reserve the road for yellow and the lower purple/orange stacks.
The practical order is:
top red/blue/green -> yellow road transfer -> purple/orange lower stacks -> pink/light-blue side stack -> green road cleanup
Level Overview
Level 23 has upper and lower parking stacks separated by a wide central road. The road must stay open while the top stacks are released.
The top red, blue, and green stacks clear first. Yellow then crosses the central road, and the lower purple/orange stacks open before the pink and light-blue side stack finishes.
Goal
Move all upper and lower groups through the center without parking a mixed queue there. Preserve the right-side turn for the late pink and light-blue cars.
Main Strategy
Start with the top stacks that already have a clear exit to the central road. Do not fill the central road permanently; it is the transfer lane for yellow and the lower stacks.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Clear The Top Red, Blue, And Green Cars
Begin with the upper stacks. Red, blue, and green are exposed at the top and can leave before the lower board is disturbed.
Step 2: Transfer Yellow Through The Center
Once the top exits are open, move the yellow group through the central road. This row is a gate for the lower parking columns.
Step 3: Open Purple And Orange Lower Stacks
After yellow is handled, clear the purple and orange stacks at the bottom. These cars need the center road to be free, so they are safer in the middle of the solve.
Step 4: Finish Pink And Light Blue
Use the right-side stack to finish pink and light-blue cars. By now the central road is open enough to move them as clean groups.
Step 5: Clean Up Green And Any Remaining Cars
The remaining green traffic moves along the road last. Send those cars through after the lower stacks are no longer blocking the exits.
Recommended Order Summary
Use this practical route:
top red/blue/green -> yellow road transfer -> purple/orange lower stacks -> pink/light-blue side stack -> green road cleanup
Use this sequence as a set of central-road checkpoints, allowing each upper or lower batch to park fully.
Key Tips
- Keep the main road or loop open before starting a deeper stack.
- Move one color batch at a time whenever possible.
- Use newly emptied slots as temporary buffers, not mixed storage.
- If the planned color is blocked, clear the car sitting directly at the road mouth first.
- Check the route references for the empty center road after yellow and again before the final green cleanup.
Why This Solution Works
The route works because the central road is preserved for transfers. The top stacks create the first space, yellow unlocks the center, and the lower stacks are moved only after the road is clear.
