Car Sort Level 145 Walkthrough
Car Sort Level 145 is an elbow shelf board where the return lane must stabilize before the basement columns can stop sharing the same curve with the top stacks.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Top side stacks feed a middle return lane, with a basement row of bright columns under the elbow.
- Goal
- Trim the top stacks first, flatten the return lane second, and finish the basement only after the curve belongs to the bottom half.
- Opening
- Reduce the top stacks, free the return lane, and keep the basement open while the elbow remains mixed.
- Danger Zone
- If the basement seals before the return lane has stopped serving the top half, the board locks up.
- Mechanics
- The return lane is the only real hinge. The upper shelves only look independent until that curve changes owners.
Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 145 (spoiler-free)
- Clear the return lane before the bottom row.
- Let the top shelves stop leaning on the curve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What controls Car Sort Level 145?

Why do the lower columns reopen in Level 145?
Because the upper shelves still use the same curve when the basement closes too early.
