Every move matters: tracks have limited space, colors can block one another, and the cleanest solution earns the best result. Learn the rules through a short interactive introduction, then take on yards that gradually grow in size and complexity. Later puzzles require careful planning, temporary moves, and a good eye for what comes next. Optional iCloud support keeps your game synchronized across your devices. Sortyard is free to play with no forced ads and no requirement to be online while playing.
