Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 361 Solution Walkthrough

Read the board by horizontal bands

The upper edge exposes red, orange, green, blue, cyan, and purple towers. The inner rectangle begins with green and cyan near the top, a strong yellow-purple middle, and red-blue rows below. The bottom bank repeats most of these colors in narrow columns. Rather than chasing matches vertically, read the center as stacked bands.

Use this route reference:

top red-orange → green and blue towers → cyan upper edge → green-cyan inner strip → yellow middle → purple middle → red-blue lower strip → bottom green/cyan → orange-pink → blue-purple-yellow cleanup

The rounded road supplies only one continuous loop. Wait until it is empty whenever you change from an upper tower to an inner row or from the inner rows to the bottom bank.

Create space above the inner grid

Start with red and orange at the top. These small columns clear the first rounded corner. Green and blue follow; finish each tower completely before crossing to the other side. Cyan should leave after the blue marker has disappeared.

Purple is visible at the upper edge but can wait if the green-cyan inner strip has become complete. The priority is to create a dark cap above the center, not to empty every top tower immediately. That cap gives the first inner cars a place to turn.

The opening checkpoint shows several empty top bays, no marker on either rounded corner, and a full green or cyan horizontal face inside the rectangle. If the road still contains red or orange, return to that top column.

Peel the center from top to bottom

Clear green across the upper inner strip, then cyan. Yellow occupies the next broad band and should move as one uninterrupted group. Purple follows only after yellow leaves enough dark cells for its route.

The red and blue lower strips are the mid-game release. Red is usually safer first because it controls the inside bend. Blue then empties the band beneath it. These two removals connect the inner rectangle to the bottom garages and expose the last covered faces.

Do not take isolated bottom cars while working through the middle. A lower column may appear ready after yellow clears, but purple, red, and blue still need the same rounded edge. Finish the horizontal peeling order before descending.

Drain the bottom bank from the open corner

Green and cyan form the first bottom pair. Select the one whose column already touches the empty road, complete it, and then clear the other. Orange and pink follow from the center of the lower bank. Their bays widen the entrance for the remaining tall columns.

Blue and purple are late groups; yellow should normally be last because its long column uses the full bottom curve. If a short red or white face remains beside yellow, clear that face first. The last tall group should never have to pass a stranded car at the lower entrance.

At the late checkpoint, the center should be almost entirely dark, the upper bank should contain no active traffic, and only solid-color lower columns should remain. Mixed colors in the middle signal that a horizontal band was split.

Use the rounded corners as progress tests

After the top red-orange-green-blue sequence, check the upper corners. After green-cyan-yellow-purple inside, check both side edges. After red-blue, check the lower corners. These visible road checks divide the walkthrough into safe handoffs.

The cars can take longer to cross the loop than the counter animation suggests. If a new face appears while a marker is still on a corner, ignore the new face until the marker disappears. This prevents a later color from meeting the active group head-on.

Recovery advice for Level 361

A blockage high on the loop belongs to a top red, orange, green, blue, cyan, or purple tower. Complete that exact column. A jam beside the inner rectangle points to the current green, cyan, yellow, purple, red, or blue horizontal band. Trouble at the lower curve identifies an incomplete bottom column.

If you have opened two colors at once, finish the group whose remaining face is fully visible. Do not alternate taps in an attempt to balance the traffic. One completed group creates a dark bay; two partial groups consume both sides of the road.

When a lower garage stays covered, inspect the horizontal strip directly above it. One color is usually still present at the edge of the inner grid. Clearing a distant same-colored tower will not unlock that local panel. Restart only if the missing part of the inner strip is covered and incompatible cars occupy both rounded corners.

Before the final yellow or purple column, verify that all inner bands are dark and no upper marker remains. Clear the final solid face continuously. The last cars should round the lower corner and cross the open loop without stopping.

Level 361 rewards a shelf-by-shelf reading. The upper towers produce the first buffer, the inner grid is peeled in horizontal color bands, and the bottom columns then leave through a fully opened loop. Maintaining that top-to-bottom progression keeps the crowded repeated colors from stealing each other's road space.

If the final state still shows a colored square in the center, do not assume it is decorative or covered. Match it to the nearest horizontal band and complete that color first. The bottom cleanup succeeds only when the inner rectangle has become one continuous dark field behind the road.
