Sorting Nuts Puzzle Game is a color-sorting logic puzzle. You start with several bolts holding stacks of mixed-colored nuts and a few empty slots. The goal is to end with each bolt holding nuts of a single color. The catch is the rule set — you can only move the top nut of any stack, and you can only place it onto an empty bolt or onto a matching color. Capacity is limited, so the order of moves is the actual puzzle.
How to play
You tap a bolt to lift its top nut, then tap another bolt to drop it. Same-color nuts stack; mismatched moves are rejected. Early levels are forgiving with extra empty slots; later ones give you exactly enough room to solve the board if you plan two or three moves ahead. The fail state is a soft lock — every legal move leaves you worse off — which means restarting is part of the loop, not a punishment.
Controls
- Touch: tap a bolt to pick up its top nut, then tap a destination bolt to place it. Tap the same bolt twice to cancel a selection.
Tips & tricks
- Clear a bolt completely before you commit to a color on it. Empty bolts are the most valuable resource on the board.
- Move single off-color nuts off mostly-sorted stacks first — they are cheap now and expensive later.
- Count how many nuts of each color exist before you start. If a color needs a full bolt and one extra nut, you need a plan for that extra one.
- Restart early if the first three moves feel wrong. Five minutes of wasted moves are harder to recover from than one quick reset.
What makes it good
We picked it because the puzzle is move order, not pattern recognition — every level is solvable, but only if you plan ahead, and that is rare in the hyper-casual sort-and-match category.
