expert Target: 52 moves 7 colors

Car Sort Level 98 is a gem-tray ladder where the upper shelves and middle checkpoints must settle in sequence before the orange-red base can safely claim the lower bend.

Board Notes

Layout: Stacked shelves climb both sides of a narrow ladder, while gem trays divide the route into several short checkpoints.
Goal: Flatten the upper shelves first, clear the middle gem tray second, and finish the orange-red base only after the ladder belongs to the lower half.
Opening: Reduce the yellow and purple top traffic and keep the lower base flexible while the middle checkpoint clears.
Danger Zone: If the lower orange or red shelves harden while the middle gem tray still needs the same lower bend, the ladder freezes.
Mechanics: Each gem tray is a checkpoint rather than a true finish. One checkpoint should clear fully before the next one changes owners.

Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 98 (spoiler-free)
