Car Sort Level 142 Walkthrough
Car Sort Level 142 is a pressure tower where the center square must lock in before the base level fan can stop sharing the same side routes with the roof band.
Board Notes
- Layout
- A roof band sits above a compact middle square, with a basement fan of bright receiver columns across the base.
- Goal
- Thin the roof first, flatten the square second, and finish the lower fan only after the side routes belong to the bottom half.
- Opening
- Trim the roof band, free the center square, and keep the basement fan flexible while the walls are still shared.
- Danger Zone
- If the basement fan closes before the center square releases the same routes, the board freezes.
- Mechanics
- The basement fan looks generous, but it only works after the center square stops borrowing the routes above it.
Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 142 (spoiler-free)
