Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 405 Solution Walkthrough

Read the left wall, center shelves, and numbered bay

The opening left column contains red near the bottom with several covered dark cells above it. Purple occupies the upper-right shelf, with red and blue across the middle and yellow along the lowest open row. The top bays show small ticket-like markers rather than ready garage faces. Below the loop, orange, green, and more covered columns wait behind counters.

Use this route reference:

left red → center blue → upper purple → lower yellow → first top pink → exposed green top bay → dotted green center block → red middle shelf → purple left column → orange and cyan lower release → green lower column → brown lower-right → returning pink-blue-yellow → final purple-red cleanup

The small blue badge at the lower-right is a progress gate. Do not try to force the adjacent covered garage. Clear the complete inner batches, and the number will fall as the board releases the correct column.

Create space on the left and bottom edges

Start with the complete red face on the inner left wall. It has immediate access to the road and removes the first obstruction beside the lower-left corner. Let red complete its trip, then clear the blue group from the exposed central shelf.

Purple follows from the upper shelf. It needs the top-right curve, so do not start yellow until the final purple marker has left that corner. Yellow then clears the lower central row and creates the first wide dark band through the garage.

At the opening checkpoint, the left red face and the blue-purple-yellow shelves should be dark, while the outer top and bottom garages remain mostly covered. If orange is already moving on the bottom edge, you have opened the outside too soon. Finish orange completely, then return to the remaining inner shelf before tapping another lower column.

Convert the three top bays into usable garages

The top bays open one at a time. Pink is the first useful group. Clear its small column through the empty upper edge. A green face appears in a neighboring bay after the next counter change; send green only when pink has fully parked.

The large dotted-green block inside the square is a separate batch. It occupies the upper-middle area and should be cleared after the outside green column, not at the same time. Draining it exposes the red middle shelf and opens more of the right-hand merge.

Clear red from that middle shelf. This is a later red group, unrelated to the opening left-wall batch. Once it is gone, purple becomes available as a tall column on the left side. Purple needs the entire lower bend, so preserve the dark yellow row as buffer space while the column empties.

Reduce the lower covers in a controlled sequence

Orange is the first strong lower release. Drain the complete orange column from the bottom-left area. Cyan follows from the pale-blue garage once its cover is gone. These groups use the same lower edge, and the route can hold only one of them safely.

Green appears in a tall bottom-center column. Clear it after cyan, then check the blue progress badge. Its number should have dropped enough to reveal the neighboring garage. If it has not, inspect the inner dotted-green or red shelf for a leftover car instead of tapping a locked column.

Brown becomes available on the lower-right side. Brown should be saved until the right road edge is completely dark, because its entrance is close to the tightest merge. Drain all brown cars continuously. The empty brown bay provides the space needed for the returning pink and blue groups.

Use the red shelf as the middle checkpoint

The central red block is the clearest indicator of progress. Before it clears, outside traffic should remain limited to pink and green above. After it clears, the lower orange-cyan-green sequence becomes safe. If your red row is still present while several bottom columns are active, pause and restore this order.

The replay's middle board shows purple standing along the left, red spanning the center, yellow at the bottom, and green occupying an upper bay. Aim for one solid face in each area rather than several half-empty colors. Complete the face nearest the open road, then rotate clockwise to the next area.

When the center is reduced to red and yellow, clear red first. Yellow follows after a full perimeter reset. Their departure leaves a clean rectangular space inside the road and turns the final stage into a sequence of outside columns.

Return through pink, blue, and yellow

Pink reappears in a lower or upper outside garage. Complete that column as one batch. Blue then moves from the newly uncovered face, followed by yellow when the bottom edge is clear. These are deeper layers, so do not join them to their opening groups.

Orange or cyan may still occupy one side after this return. Choose whichever face is fully exposed and attached to the empty corner. Finish it before moving to purple. The late purple column is long and will occupy several sides of the loop; it should run alone.

Red is commonly the final tall outside group. Give it the whole perimeter. If a small green or brown remainder is still visible, finish that complete face first when it controls the lower-right entrance. The last red batch should not have to wait behind any road marker.

Before completion, the internal shelves should be completely dark, all three top bays should be open, and the bottom counters should have disappeared. One solid outside column may remain. Drain it without switching and allow the last car to pass the upper edge before expecting the completion panel.

Recover from a counter or corner problem

If the blue progress badge does not change, do not tap the covered garage beside it. Look back to the complete inner face associated with the current phase: dotted green, red, purple, or yellow. One unfinished car there is normally holding the release.

A jam on the left side belongs to the opening red face, the tall purple column, or a later outside batch entering from below. Complete that source while every right-side garage remains inactive. A queue on the right belongs to an upper pink-green bay, brown, cyan, or the central shelf currently using the merge.

If cars stop along the bottom, finish the active orange, cyan, green, brown, pink, or yellow column. Do not tap a top garage as a rescue. Its cars must travel through the same corners and will only turn a recoverable queue into a lock.

When two colors are already present, wait for the earlier one to advance, then release its remaining source cars. Once the loop is dark, complete the second color. Restart only if the two groups are stationary and both missing faces remain covered.

Level 405 is solved by expanding the board in layers. Red, blue, purple, and yellow create the initial dark lanes; the three top bays expose pink and green; the dotted block and red shelf unlock purple and the lower columns; then orange, cyan, green, and brown prepare the returning pink-blue-yellow sweep. Respect the lower-right counter, keep the rounded corners empty between batches, and the final purple-red columns can finish without competing for road space.
