Read full description

Pencil Case Sort is a fun and addictive puzzle game where you try to clear the board by sending pencils into the correct shredders. Each shredder only accepts pencils of its own color. To reach the pencils below, you must first send away the pencils stacked on top. As you place pencils into the right shredder, the board gets cleaner — but be careful! If the holder fills up, it’s game over.
