How to Solve Loop Sort Level 490 — Full Solution
- Tap lower row source 4 while its bottom-facing cube is pink; it enters at the lower-right chute, feeds the pink receiver, and exposes yellow in that same source.
- Tap lower source 4 again on yellow; the yellow truck takes the right chute, checks, and exposes green below it.
- Tap lower source 4 on green; its truck clears the lower-to-middle bend and the source becomes checked.
- Tap upper row source 3 on its visible yellow face; it enters at the upper-right chute and leaves a gray face visible in that stack.
- Tap lower row source 2 on black at about 14-15 seconds; it enters from the lower-right, checks on the full S, and exposes green at that same lower source.
- Tap middle row source 3 on the lower yellow face; the matching truck uses the middle-right entry and reveals the covered/gray layer above it.
- Tap middle source 3 on that gray face; wait for the gray receiver to check before the next yellow face is exposed.
- Tap middle source 3 once more on yellow; its check empties that source and opens space along the middle return.
- Tap lower row source 3 on light blue; it enters from the lower-right, checks against the light-blue receiver, and exposes orange.
- Tap lower source 3 on orange; the orange truck clears the long circuit and exposes pink in the same stack.
- Tap lower source 3 on pink; its check reveals the red face underneath.
- Tap lower source 3 on red; let the red receiver accept it and leave that source checked.
- Tap middle row source 4 on orange; after the orange check, green becomes the visible face there.
- Tap middle source 4 on green; the green receiver checks and that right-middle source empties.
- Tap upper row source 2 on the solid pink face; use the upper-right entry and wait until the entire tall pink source checks.
- Tap upper row source 3 on the gray face revealed earlier; its gray check clears the upper-right source.
- Tap lower source 2 on green; its check clears the green-framed lower source.
- Tap middle row source 1 on white; it enters at the left side of the middle loop and checks before the endgame colors.
- Tap upper row source 1 on blue; this is the first of the final three taps, and its blue receiver checks after the full descent.
- Tap middle row source 2 on red; this second-last color uses the middle-right entry and checks with no white left on the road.
- Tap lower row source 1 on orange; the final truck traverses the serpentine route, checks, and leaves every source slot empty.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Light blue, Green, Pink, Gray, Yellow, White, Red, Orange, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Releasing colors from opposite ends of the S at the same time.
- Combining the gray/black wave with orange traffic.
- Sending red before white clears the middle row.
Quick Tips for Loop Sort Level 490 (quick clues)
- Finish one color before opening cargo at the opposite end of the S.
- Keep light blue and blue as separate route waves.
- Clear white before the final red and orange sequence.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three upper stacks, four middle stacks, and four lower stacks connect through right- and left-side vertical turns to form a full-height S route.
- Goal
- Reveal every covered face and turn all eleven source positions into checked slots; the HUD fraction rises and falls with circulating trucks and returns to 0/8 only after the last check.
- Opening
- Use the lower-right pink, yellow, and green faces first, then take the upper-right and center-right yellow faces through the right entry.
- Danger Zone
- A mismatched truck must traverse all three rows; gray/black mixed with orange or red released before white clears consumes the eight-truck circulation space.
- Mechanics
- Two vertical transfer columns join covered cargo on three tiers, so each completed wave changes both the next entry point and the remaining circuit length.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can gray or black share the S with orange traffic?
No. Mixing the gray/black wave with orange, or sending red before white clears, fills the eight-truck circuit before the opposite-end colors return.
Why should colors be completed one at a time?
A mismatched truck must travel the full three-row serpentine circuit before returning, quickly consuming the available route slots.
