What matters most in Car Sort Level 40?

Sequencing the live shelves. The empty crate panels are distractions, but the live shelves must be finished one by one.

Which color should finish last in Level 40?

The final orange shelf is safest as the last finish after aqua, blue, red, purple, and yellow are already stable.

Car Sort Level 40 Walkthrough

hard Target: 42 moves 6 colors

Car Sort Level 40 is a one-lane descent broken up by dead crate panels, so only the live shelves matter and each one should finish before the next band wakes up.

Board Notes

Layout: A tall left-sided chute holds one short top shelf, four center crate panels, and six live shelves below. The live colors resolve into aqua, blue, red, purple, yellow, and orange.
Goal: Finish the live shelves in a clean descending ladder through the one working lane.
Opening: Fix the top live shelf first, then flatten the next active bands one at a time down the chute.
Danger Zone: If the middle red band starts topping off while the upper aqua-blue section is still mixed, the chute has to reverse direction and the lower purple-yellow pair gets trapped.
Mechanics: The crate panels are dead space. This is fundamentally another one-lane ladder where sequencing matters more than anything else.

Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 40 (spoiler-free)

Ignore the empty crate panels.

Leave the last orange shelf for the final quiet pass.

How to Solve Car Sort Level 40 — Full Solution

Solve the top live shelf so the upper corner is not serving two unfinished colors.
Flatten the next active shelves as aqua and then blue while the chute is still quiet.
Finish the middle red and purple bands once the upper pair is final.
Let yellow take the next lower shelf only after red and purple are already stable.
Close the board with orange on the last lower shelf through the now-open chute.

Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
