How to Solve Car Sort Level 173 — Full Solution
- Shorten the roof towers so the upper chamber stops dropping mixed traffic onto the inner shelves.
- Reduce the short inner shelves before the numbered domes or long lower lanes try to become permanent.
- Keep both domes and the long lower lanes flexible while the chamber still uses the right-side road.
- Once the chamber is quiet, let the domes release one at a time and pass traffic down to the lower rows.
- Finish the long lower lanes only after neither dome needs to send cars back upward.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Treating the dome outputs like permanent lanes too early.
Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 173 (spoiler-free)
- Settle the chamber before the domes.
- Keep the long lower lanes flexible until both domes are quiet.
- Let the right-side road change owners in stages.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Four roof towers feed a tall chamber with short inner shelves, two numbered dome tunnels in the middle, and long lower lanes building along the bottom.
- Goal
- Quiet the upper chamber first, let the numbered domes hand the route downward second, and finish the long lower rows only after the domes are done relaying.
- Opening
- Trim the roof towers, simplify the inner shelves, and keep the domes and long lower lanes flexible while the chamber still owns the road.
- Danger Zone
- If a long pink or orange lane closes before the numbered domes complete their release, the lower half blocks the last chamber traffic.
- Mechanics
- The domes are the late bridge from the chamber to the lower rows, so they should be treated as relay nodes before they become finish lanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What controls Car Sort Level 173?
The upper chamber controls the board because the numbered domes and long lower lanes cannot safely own the route until the chamber has finished releasing it.
Why do the lower rows reopen in Level 173?
Because one of the domes still needs the same right-side road when the long lower lanes close too early.
