Car Sort Level 146 Walkthrough
Car Sort Level 146 is a staircase elbow where the stacked steps must clear before the lower row can stop sharing the same right wall.
Board Notes
- Layout
- Stepped left shelves face a dark right wall, with a colorful receiver row along the bottom.
- Goal
- Peel the upper steps first, flatten the elbow second, and finish the basement only after the wall belongs to the bottom half.
- Opening
- Strip the upper shelves, free the elbow shelf, and keep the lower row loose while the wall is still mixed.
- Danger Zone
- If the lower row locks in before the step shelves release the wall, the staircase resets.
- Mechanics
- The wall gets handed down shelf by shelf. The board punishes any attempt to skip that sequence.
Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 146 (spoiler-free)
- Work from the top step downward.
- Keep the wall free for the late cleanup.
- Let the elbow clear before the base closes.
