Car Sort: Color Puzzle Level 497 Solution Walkthrough
Route Reference
Key opening, middle, and finish positions for this route.
Double-Cylinder Layout
The opening board shows green, red, purple, orange, pink, yellow, cyan, blue, and lower garage colors. The two cylinders at the bottom narrow the road into a small opening. If the bottom is used before the yellow row moves, cars wait around the cylinders.
Recommended order:
green top-left -> red top shelf -> purple upper-left -> orange upper-right -> pink middle-right -> yellow center row -> blue lower-middle -> green bottom-left -> cyan/orange bottom cleanup
Green and red open the top. Purple and orange then prepare the center.
Top Shelf Opening
Start with green from the top-left. Red follows from the top shelf. These moves clear the upper road and let the rectangle breathe. Purple should move after red, then orange from the upper-right.
Pink on the middle-right is next. Pink opens the approach to the yellow row.
If the top still has red or purple parked near the road, yellow should wait. The center row needs a clear approach.
Yellow Row Checkpoint
The yellow row across the center is the main blocker. Clear it after the upper shelves are reduced. Do not open bottom green yet. Bottom cars need the yellow row gone so they can pass between the cylinders.
Blue from the lower-middle can move after yellow. It creates the final bridge into the bottom row.
The checkpoint is easy to read: the middle should no longer be a solid yellow wall. If yellow is still stretched across the board, the lower cylinders will trap the next color you send.
Bottom Cleanup
Green from the bottom-left becomes safe late. Cyan and orange from the bottom should finish after green. Keep each bottom color separate, since the lower opening has very little extra space.
When bottom cleanup begins, the two cylinders should act like a doorway, not storage. If cars are waiting around either cylinder, finish the active middle color before tapping another bottom garage.
Recovery Advice
If Level 497 blocks, check whether the yellow row is still present. Finish pink or yellow before using the bottom. If the bottom row opened too early, clear the active upper or middle color, then return to green, cyan, and orange cleanup.
If your board differs from the route reference, rebuild from the top shelves and then the yellow row. That restores the doorway for the lower colors.
If cyan is exposed but blocked, clear blue first. Blue is the bridge into the bottom cleanup.
