Car Sort Level 111 Walkthrough

expert Target: 56 moves 8 colors

Car Sort Level 111 is a roof-and-basement box where the middle square has to settle before the cyan-orange basement columns and twin top towers can stop sharing the same outer wall.

Board Notes

Layout: Two narrow top towers cap a dense middle square, and two bright basement columns hang directly underneath.
Goal: Trim the roof towers first, flatten the pink and cream interior rows second, and finish the basement columns only after the middle square releases the wall.
Opening: Thin the top towers, free the inner pink shelf, and keep the basement columns flexible while the right side of the square is still mixed.
Danger Zone: If a basement column locks in while the pink or cream shelf still needs the same wall, the square backs up and the top towers reopen.
Mechanics: The middle square decides when the roof and basement stop borrowing the same exits. The symmetry is visual only; the routing is sequential.

Trim the roof towers first so the square clears its outgoing lane to both the top and bottom halves together.
Free the inner pink shelf before the lower section columns begin to harden.
Keep the basement columns flexible while the cream and purple rows inside the square still borrow the outer wall.
Let the right side of the square resolve into separated lanes before either basement column finalizes.
Close the top towers and the basement receivers once the middle box no longer borrows to reset them.
