What is the main choke point in Car Sort Level 87?

The red middle block is the main choke point because the whole chamber has to clear around it before the lower row becomes safe.

Why should the lower row wait in Level 87?

Because it shares the same outer turn the red block and upper cleanup still need until the chamber resolves.

hard Target: 50 moves 9 colors

Car Sort Level 87 is a tall chamber where the hanging top family, yellow mini-shelf, and big red middle block must resolve before the lower green-aqua finish row can safely harden.

Board Notes

Layout: Three hanging columns feed a dense chamber of short shelves, with a bright yellow mini-shelf above a large red horizontal block and a lower finish row below.
Goal: Separate the upper family first, clear the yellow mini-shelf second, and finish the lower row only after the red block owns a stable route.
Opening: Split the upper blue-green side and leave the lower finish row flexible while the red block stabilizes.
Danger Zone: If the lower green or purple finish closes while the red middle block still needs the same outer turn, the aqua cleanup gets trapped.
Mechanics: The oversized red middle piece needs sustained route ownership. It is the pacing mechanism for the whole level.
