Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 316 Solution Walkthrough

Separate the left and right lanes

Start with white from the exposed left-center column. White has the cleanest route around the upper-left corner and opens space beside the first cylinder. Dark red follows from the middle. Blue should go third through the right lane after red has stopped using the lower crossing.

Use this phase order:

white → dark red → blue → pink lower-right → green lower-left → orange/purple center → yellow upper-left → cyan → final red and violet

Pink and green are the first lower reserves. Finish pink on the right before green uses the bottom lane from the left. Those two groups reduce the round Garage count and expose the deeper center colors.

Orange and purple then move through the narrow gap above the round Garage. Orange has the shorter side route and should finish first. Purple follows and opens the final cylinder faces.

Drain the towers after the center opens

Yellow is the first tall upper column. Pale cyan follows through the opposite lane. Red and violet are the late tower colors once the four center cylinders no longer divide the board.

The correct checkpoint is a board with uniform white, red, and blue center columns and organized green, orange, and pink reserves below. If your center still contains mixed short groups, complete them before opening another tower.

If the left lane is blocked, finish white, green, orange, or yellow. If the right lane is blocked, complete blue, pink, cyan, red, or violet. When the round Garage remains at 2, return to the visible lower batch instead of tapping an upper cover.

Level 316 is solved by building two clean vertical lanes. White, red, and blue organize the center, pink and green reduce the lower Garage, and orange, purple, yellow, cyan, red, and violet then drain through the opened rectangle.

Opening checkpoint around the four cylinders

The four purple cylinders divide the interior into narrow strips, so judge the opening by available road rather than by the number of visible colors. White is safe first because its tall left-center face points directly toward the upper-left entrance. Clear that face completely. The dark-red group in the middle can then move without competing for the same corner, and blue gains the right-hand lane only after red has parked.

Do not tap the pink and green reserves while any of those three center colors remains on the perimeter. Pink enters from the lower-right side, exactly where blue leaves the interior. Green approaches from the opposite lower corner. Mixing either reserve into the opening creates two queues that meet below the round Garage.

A clean early board has a tall white column on the left, a uniform dark-red block in the center, and blue gathered on the right. The cylinders may still show 2 or 3, but the spaces between them should no longer contain mixed short rows. That orderly state matters more than reducing every counter immediately.

Lower reserve handoff

Once the right lane is empty, clear the full pink column at the lower-right. Pink reduces one of the central covers and leaves a dark outside bay. Next take green from the lower-left. Let it round the bottom and climb the open side before using another reserve.

The lower middle covers expose cyan, violet, orange, and green in stages. Work only with the fully uncovered column. If cyan shows a complete vertical face while orange still has a numbered cover, cyan is the correct choice even when orange appears closer to the round Garage.

After the first reserve pair, orange and purple become useful inside the narrow center gap. Orange has a short direct merge and should finish before purple. Purple then occupies the same lower crossing for longer. Wait until that crossing is dark; a final purple car can be hidden beside the round structure.

The round Garage marked 2 is a progress indicator, not a place to send random cars. Its count falls after the correct lower groups finish. If it stays unchanged, check the current reserve column and the small center face immediately above it.

Upper tower rotation

The three towers above the road mature into solid yellow, pale cyan, red, violet, and orange faces. Yellow normally becomes the first complete tall column. Give it the entire top edge and do not release cyan from the neighboring tower until the last yellow marker has cleared the upper-right bend.

Pale cyan then uses the right lane. This is a long batch, so verify that the blue center face is already dark. Red follows from the exposed middle tower. Violet is a later upper layer and should move only after red has completed its circuit.

The replay's late checkpoint shows yellow and violet towers above, green-orange-pink columns below, and clean white-red-blue faces between the cylinders. When the board reaches that structure, alternate one upper column with one complete inner or lower face. Never open two top towers together; both enter through adjacent points and share the same upper corners.

Cylinder-by-cylinder cleanup

As each cylinder count reaches zero, a deeper garage face appears beside it. Clear that newly exposed color before moving diagonally to another cylinder. The left pair usually releases white, red, purple, or cyan, while the right pair controls blue, orange, green, and pink. Position is more reliable than color because several hues return in deeper layers.

Keep the large blue face on the right intact until the road is free. Its cars occupy much of the perimeter and can block a short red or orange batch. Likewise, finish the central red face before releasing the final violet tower.

Near completion, the inner board should consist of three clean vertical columns rather than scattered cells. Clear the column attached to the open entrance, wait for a full reset, and then take the next. The final outside garage should have an unobstructed rectangle around the cylinders.

Recovery for a divided interior

If traffic stalls along the left side, return to the active white, green, orange, or yellow source. Complete that exact face and leave the right reserves untouched. A right-side queue belongs to blue, pink, cyan, red, or violet; finish its source before tapping the middle.

If the round Garage remains at 2, inspect the visible lower column rather than the upper towers. If a large cylinder stays numbered, finish the color in the adjacent vertical lane. The counters are tied to local progress and will not respond to an unrelated matching color elsewhere.

When two colors are already mixed, stop tapping and watch which group still moves. Release the remaining cars from that source. Once it parks, complete the stationary color. Restart only when two stationary groups occupy opposite bends and both sources remain locked.

The final route succeeds because every early move enlarges one of two usable lanes. White, dark red, and blue establish the interior; pink and green pay down the lower covers; orange and purple clear the round-Garage crossing; yellow, cyan, red, and violet then use the fully opened perimeter. Keep one lane empty as a buffer and the last vertical columns can drain without meeting at the bottom.
