Loop Sort level guide
Loop Sort Level 290 Walkthrough
Twelve layered source trucks form six upper and six lower positions around one horizontal oval. Alternate the banks after every receiver check, work through the deep orange-cyan and purple-brown refills, and save the lower-right pink layer for the last release.

How to Solve Loop Sort Level 290 — Full Solution
- Release the exposed pink source on the left side and let that wave reach its receiver before using the matching pink layer across the oval.
- Route green from one bank, wait for the loop to clear, then send the visible yellow source from the opposite bank.
- Use the middle orange truck only after yellow checks; follow with cyan from the mirrored middle position once the lower turn is empty.
- Return to the left-side stacks for red, then route gray from the upper-right side without starting its lower mirror.
- Clear the newly exposed blue and green refills one bank at a time, then release purple before brown in the late right-side stacks so their receiver remains available.
- Drain the remaining yellow, orange, and red fragments, leaving the far-right lower stack untouched until the oval is open.
- Release pink from the lower-right truck as the last source action and let the remaining purple-red traffic complete the six receivers.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Green, Yellow, Orange, Cyan, Red, Gray, Purple, Brown, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Releasing matching upper and lower stacks together even though both enter the same two oval rails.
- Sending cyan before the preceding orange wave has cleared the lower turn and checked.
- Starting brown before purple checks or using the lower-right pink source before the closing phase.
Quick Tips for Loop Sort Level 290 (quick clues)
- Count six trucks above and six below the oval; choose one bank for each rail-clearing cycle.
- Wait for the active receiver check before exposing the next layer in the mirrored truck.
- Keep brown behind purple in the late refills and leave the lower-right pink source for the closing release.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Six upright layered trucks line the top of the oval and six line the bottom; every source enters the same clockwise rail pair, so mirrored positions are not independent lanes.
- Goal
- Clear six receiver groups by alternating upper and lower releases and exposing each deeper color only after the previous layer from that truck checks.
- Opening
- Route the exposed pink from the left side first, then use green and yellow from separate banks before sending orange into the lower turn.
- Danger Zone
- Matching colors in mirrored positions still compete for the same oval. Releasing both sides together hides cyan, red, or gray behind the wrong receiver.
- Mechanics
- Twelve fixed source positions refill through several deep layers; the puzzle is controlled by receiver timing rather than covers or locks.
