How to Solve Car Sort Level 520 — Full Solution
- Route the exposed upper-right white cars into their match.
- Clear yellow, then red, while preserving the central bend.
- Reduce the upper-left blue panel from `2` to `1` with completed matches.
- Match blue and pink and expose only mystery cars with visible destinations.
- Release the first long brown vehicle below `10/16` occupancy.
- Clear pale purple and burgundy from the lower shelves.
- Finish the upper green receiver after the long brown vehicles have already cleared.
- Reduce the second `2` panel and the upper-right `1` panel.
- Route late white, blue, pink, and burgundy one receiver at a time.
- After upper green completes, route the red and pale mystery-car traffic as occupancy changes `8/16` to `10/16`, then `12/16`, and back to `7/16`.
- Drain that final red/pale wave from `7/16` to `0/16` and confirm the completion card.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending a long brown vehicle into the bend at `12/16` or higher.

- Treating a blue countdown panel as an ordinary colored receiver.
Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 520 (quick clues)
- Keep the center bend empty before moving a long brown vehicle.
- Reveal mystery cars only when a destination is open.
- Use compact white, yellow, and red matches to reduce the first countdown.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three upper-left shelves and three upper-right shelves feed a narrow bend into four lower shelves, with mystery cars and numbered panels spread across both clusters.
- Goal
- Reveal and match every mystery car, reduce the `2` and `1` panels, route the long vehicles, and drain the `16`-space road.
- Opening
- Send exposed white first, then yellow and red, using completed matches to reduce the upper countdown panel.
- Danger Zone
- At `12/16` or `14/16`, a long brown vehicle or unmatched mystery reveal can seal the only open stretch through the central S.
- Mechanics
- Blue panels count down from `2` or `1`, black mystery cars conceal colors, and elongated brown vehicles require extra clear road length.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should move first?
The verified solve begins with exposed white, then uses yellow and red to open space and reduce a countdown.
Why are the long brown vehicles risky?
They need a longer uninterrupted road segment and can block the center S when occupancy is high.
What is the actual late-game capacity swing?
After upper green clears, red and pale traffic raises occupancy from `8/16` through `10/16` and `12/16`, then it falls to `7/16` and finally `0/16`; brown is already complete.
