Loop Sort level guide
Loop Sort Level 289 Walkthrough
SUPER HARD Level 289 wraps an S-shaped route around two inner source rows and five unknown blue covers along the bottom. Clear the inner bends first, then let receiver checks reveal the bottom bank one position at a time before the red-orange-pink closing stream.

How to Solve Loop Sort Level 289 — Full Solution
- Route the exposed green around the lower bend, then release red through the upper bend after green leaves the shared center crossing.
- Clear cyan from the upper row and yellow from the adjacent inner source, waiting for each receiver check before switching bends.
- Work through the inner pink and brown layers until both three-truck rows show their first completed positions.
- Let the first blue bottom cover retract from that dependency, then route the revealed green and purple layers one at a time; each completed receiver removes the next cover in the chain.
- Continue across the bank through the newly exposed brown, orange, and blue cargo, keeping the opposite S bend empty before every release.
- After the last covers retract, stage the lower-left pink source and the neighboring orange truck until the late red path is visible.
- Send red across the upper run, orange through the center bend, and pink from the lower-left source as the overlapping closing stream, then wait for all three receivers.
Colors in this level:
Green, Red, Cyan, Yellow, Pink, Brown, Purple, Orange, Blue, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to open a bottom cover directly instead of waiting for the inner receiver that retracts it.
- Releasing a replacement truck while cargo still occupies the opposite bend and shared center crossing.
- Starting the late pink source before the red and orange routes have visible receivers.
Quick Tips for Loop Sort Level 289 (quick clues)
- Empty the upper and middle bends before the first bottom cover retracts.
- Use only the truck exposed by the latest receiver check; never treat a blue cover as a tappable source.
- Keep the final red, orange, and pink releases separated until each color passes the center crossover.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three upper inner trucks and three middle inner trucks sit inside the two bends of an S route; five large blue covered bays form a separate replacement bank below the lower exit.
- Goal
- Clear seven receiver groups by draining both inner rows, then using each bottom truck only after its blue cover retracts from the preceding check.
- Opening
- Route green and red through separate bends, then send cyan and yellow only after the shared center crossing is clear.
- Danger Zone
- The five blue shells are passive covered state. Starting a newly revealed bottom truck while the other bend is occupied traps its color at the central crossover.
- Mechanics
- Receiver checks expose the five-position bottom bank in stages, and every revealed replacement source must travel through both turns of the same narrow S.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the five-cover bottom bank reveal?
It opens passively in stages: an inner or replacement source checks, one blue cover retracts, and the newly visible truck becomes the next usable source.
What happens in the final phase?
The verified ending carries red on the upper run, orange through the middle bend, and pink from the lower-left replacement source.
