Sort colors, balls, screws and more
Sorting games give you a messy board and one simple goal: put everything where it belongs. In Water Sort Puzzle and Magic Bottles you pour colored water between bottles until each one holds a single color, and in Ball Sort Puzzle you do the same with balls in tubes. The rules take seconds to learn, but later levels leave you very little free space, so every move has to be planned.
Other games put a twist on the idea. Move colored nuts between bolts in Nuts Puzzle: Sort By Color, guide buckets of sand along a conveyor in Sand Loop, untangle layers of thread in Yarn Fever, or move flowers between vases in Flower Sort.
What kinds of sorting games are there?
Color sorting: water, balls, nuts and hex tiles, as in Hexa Sort, where stacks of the same color merge and clear.
Item sorting: shelves full of everyday things to group, as in Goods Sort and Sort Tiles.
Triple matching: pick items into a small tray and clear them three at a time, as in Goods Match 3D and Mahjong Match.
Screw and pin puzzles: take out screws or pins in the right order to free the pieces, as in Screw Puzzle Master and Pin Master.
Passenger sorting: send each bus the passengers of its color, as in Bus Escape and Bus Parking Out.
What if I get stuck on a level?
Many sorting games give you helpers, such as an extra bottle, an extra slot or a shuffle, and you can always restart a level. Most levels are solved by thinking a few moves ahead: before you fill your last free space, check which move it opens up next.
Are sorting games good for kids?
Yes. Games like Water Sort Puzzle and Ball Sort Puzzle only need you to match colors, there is no time pressure, and there is no reading involved, so younger players can enjoy them too. Older kids and adults usually like the trickier screw and yarn puzzles.
Can I play sorting games on a phone?
Yes. Every game in this category works with touch, on phones and tablets as well as on a computer.
