What you do in Nuts Puzzle: Sort By Color

Every bolt starts with a jumble of colored nuts and your goal is to separate them. You take the top nut off one bolt and slide it onto another, repeating until each color sits on its own bolt. It is a solo puzzle, so the pressure comes from move order, not a timer.

Controls for sorting nuts

Pick a source, then pick a destination. The top nut is the only one that moves per tap.

How the stacking rule works

You cannot drop a nut just anywhere. The target bolt has to be empty, or its top nut must already be the same color as the one in your hand. Buried colors force you to shuffle the pieces on top into legal spots first, which is where the puzzle earns its name.

Tools and twists show up as you climb the levels.
