Loop Sort level guide
Loop Sort Level 288 Walkthrough
Loop Sort Level 288 builds a tall source ladder behind four initial covered states: one red, two lavender, and one yellow. Clear the exposed white-green opening, follow each receiver-driven reveal down the ladder, and finish with the upper pink and lower-right orange sources.

How to Solve Loop Sort Level 288 — Full Solution
- Release white from the exposed upper-left short truck and green from the upper-right vertical truck, allowing both to reach their receivers before using a covered position.
- When those checks retract the upper lavender state, route the newly visible pink layer, then release red from the right-side vertical stack.
- Let the large red upper cover clear from its dependency and work through the exposed upper ladder cargo without tapping the cover shell itself.
- Move down the center ladder through orange and cyan, waiting for each short truck to check before using the truck directly below it.
- Clear the deeper brown, gray, and black layers from the middle-left sources so the right rail is empty for the lower phase.
- Allow the lower-left lavender cover to retract after its receiver check, then route the yellow layer it exposes without starting the lower-right bay.
- Wait for the lower-right yellow cover to disappear from its dependency, then use the vertical source behind it and clear the remaining dark cargo.
- Release pink from the remaining upper-left short truck and orange from the lower-right source into the open loop, then wait for both final receivers.
Colors in this level:
White, Green, Pink, Red, Orange, Cyan, Brown, Gray, Black, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Counting only three covers and overlooking the second lavender state at the lower left.
- Treating a colored cover as a truck that can be opened directly instead of waiting for its dependency check.
- Starting the lower yellow phase while gray and black still occupy the right rail.
Quick Tips for Loop Sort Level 288 (quick clues)
- Count four starting covers: red, upper lavender, lower lavender, and lower-right yellow.
- Wait for a neighboring receiver check to retract each cover before using the truck underneath it.
- Keep the lower yellow phase staged until the central gray and black traffic has left the right rail.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A tall rectangular loop surrounds a left ladder of short horizontal trucks and two right-side vertical trucks; red and lavender covers overlap at the upper left, a second lavender cover blocks the lower left, and a yellow cover fills the lower right.
- Goal
- Clear four receiver groups while letting the four covers retract from their dependencies, then use the exposed ladder trucks in top-to-bottom order.
- Opening
- Release white from the first exposed upper-left truck and green from the upper-right vertical truck, then route the pink and red layers revealed by their checks.
- Danger Zone
- The colored shells are unknown covered state, not tappable cargo. Releasing yellow before the central gray-black layers check removes the only clean route to the lower receiver.
- Mechanics
- Four passive covers divide the ladder into upper and lower reveal phases; every cleared short truck exposes the position needed for the next receiver chain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many large covers are visible at the start of Level 288?
Four: a red upper cover, two separate lavender covers on the left ladder, and a yellow cover at the lower right.
What triggers each covered reveal?
The adjacent source must reach its receiver and check first; the cover then retracts and exposes the next usable truck.
