Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 311 Solution Walkthrough
Route Reference
Key opening, middle, and finish positions for this route.

Pay down the left Garage column
Start with yellow from the highest open right shelf, followed by orange. Red is the next complete shelf, then pale violet and blue. Each finished batch lowers one of the left-side Garage requirements and keeps the vertical road from mixing.
The route order is:
yellow → orange → red → pale violet → blue → dark red → pink → green → cyan lift cleanup
Dark red becomes safe after blue leaves the center. Pink follows from the lower-right shelf. Green is the last broad shelf and opens the full top turnaround beside the multicolor lift.
Empty the lift only after the shelves
The lift contains stacked pink, yellow, orange, and cyan layers. Do not tap through those layers at the opening. Once the right shelves have reduced the numbered cylinders, take the visible lift color as a complete batch, allowing the next layer to become the new face.
Cyan is the strongest final lift group because it needs the entire vertical road. By then every right shelf is either empty or a uniform parked column.
If a left cylinder does not change, complete the shelf directly across from it. If cars stop at the top turnaround, finish the active lift layer. If the road is mixed, choose the color nearest its matching garage and finish it before tapping any new shelf.
Treat the right shelves as payments for the lift
The left tower is visible from the start, but its stacked pink, purple, yellow, orange, and cyan layers cannot all reach the road. The numbered rolled doors below it control the vertical clearance. Every completed right-hand shelf removes part of that restriction, so the opening should stay on the right side even when a bright lift color looks ready.
Begin at the highest usable shelf. Yellow and orange have the shortest path to the top turnaround and should leave separately. Red follows from the next dark-backed row. After these warm colors clear, the vertical road should show a single stream and the upper rolled door should have reduced or opened.
Pale violet and blue occupy broader middle shelves. Clear violet first if its full face is exposed across the row; blue follows after the spine is empty. The replay shows these colors becoming solid horizontal bars as earlier rows disappear. Do not tap a bar whose end remains black or chained, because only part of its batch has been released.
Open the lower shelf bank before the tall column
Dark red sits below the blue row and needs the entire vertical spine. Pink comes after it, followed by green at the bottom. These shelves are progressively closer to the lower bend, so an unfinished upper car will block every one of them. Wait for a dark road between batches rather than judging only by the source row.
Green is the decisive lower release. Its long shelf becomes fully visible late in the run and lowers the last important left-side cover. Complete the whole green face. When it turns dark, the top turnaround beside the lift is finally wide enough for tall lift layers to move without meeting shelf traffic.
At this checkpoint, the right side should be organized into clean yellow, orange, burgundy, blue, pale-violet, pink, red, and green rows, many of them already dark. The left lift remains tall, but the rolled garage numbers have fallen. If your lift has lost several colors while the lower green shelf is still full, the phases were reversed.
Drain the lift one exposed layer at a time
The lift behaves like a vertical stack: only its current outer face is meaningful. Clear that full color, pause at the top curve, and let the next layer settle before tapping again. Pink and pale violet may appear first, with yellow and orange behind them. Cyan becomes a long late layer and must not share the spine with a returning shelf color.
Watch the top-left turn carefully. A lift source can look empty while its earliest cars are still crossing the roof. The road counter should stop and the corner should return to black before the next layer begins. This short pause is especially important when the next visible color has a matching row on the right; tapping both sources would create two separate convoys of the same color at different heights.
The final board has a dark lift shaft, retracted left cylinders, and only complete right shelves. If a short green or pink row remains, clear it after the last cyan lift batch has parked.
Recover when the lift and shelf overlap
A jam above the highest shelf usually belongs to the active lift layer. Finish that layer and keep the right side parked. A jam halfway down points to violet, blue, dark red, or pink on the shelves. Complete the horizontal source before returning to the lift.
If a numbered door refuses to change, inspect the shelf directly opposite that door. One car may remain behind an otherwise dark-looking row. Lower shelves do not substitute for that missing batch, and opening another lift layer only blocks the turnaround.
For a stable retry, clear the right bank by height until green opens the last cover, then drain the lift face by face. This separation of jobs is the key to Level 311: the shelves create road capacity, and the lift uses that capacity only after it has been earned.

Level 311 is a shelf-funded lift route: yellow, orange, red, violet, blue, dark red, pink, and green open the numbered Garages, then the layered lift can drain through an empty vertical spine.
