## What is Cardlings?

Sort cute emoji cards by category in Cardlings, a relaxing card sort puzzle with the heart of solitaire. Drag each picture card onto the category where it belongs, match the whole group and clear the board before your moves run out. A cozy solitaire game that is easy to learn, satisfying to master, free to play and ready offline.

HOW TO SORT
• Three categories are open at a time. Drag a card onto its category to sort it.
• Match every card of a category and the group clears, making room for the next one.
• Stuck? Park a card on the bench (your free cells, as in solitaire) or move it onto a shorter column to reach the card you need.
• A card dropped on the wrong category costs a move. Sort the whole board before the moves run out to win the level.

A CARD SORT PUZZLE FULL OF SURPRISES
• 195 categories and more than 1,200 emoji-style picture cards to sort and match: puppies, sushi, dinosaurs, pirates, superheroes, smiley faces, zombies, vampires and many more.
• New themes on every level, so no two puzzles look the same.
• Tricky look-alikes: is it a zombie or a vampire? An orchestra or a rock band? Find the association and sort each card into the right group.
• Frozen cards, face-down "?" cards and curtains turn category sorting into a real brain puzzle.

400 LEVELS, FROM COZY TO SUPER HARD
• Every sort puzzle is balanced with care and can be solved without a single booster.
• Hard and Super Hard levels train your brain, your logic and your planning.
• No timer on any level: take your time, one calm move at a time.
• Four boosters when you want a hand: Hint, Undo, Magnet and Sticker.
• Past level 400, the Galaxy League keeps dealing new boards.

MORE WAYS TO PLAY
• Line-Up, a second puzzle game inside: swap picture cards to line up four of a kind and discover the hidden category. An association puzzle with three new boards every day.
• New events every week: Dino Dash, Puppy Cup, Cosmic Catch, Sky Hop Race, Crown Climb and Treasure Trail, with rankings and prizes.
• A Season Pass with free and golden rewards, and a daily gift for coming back.

COLLECT EVERY CARD
• Catch shiny cards as you play and fill an album of 72 collections and 648 cards.
• Open card packs, complete collections and win coins, boosters and badges.
• Travel through nine scenes in a little camper van, from Sunny Farm to the galaxy.

RELAX YOUR WAY
• Offline game: no Wi-Fi needed to sort, match and relax.
• Solitaire calm in one hand: portrait, short sessions, made for a coffee break or a quiet evening.
• World and country rankings, with avatars, frames and badges for your profile.
• Cloud save: your progress follows you to a new phone, no account needed.

If you like solitaire and card games, category sorting and association puzzles, emoji matching or relaxing brain games, Cardlings is your next cozy sort puzzle.
