About

Pencil Loop Sort

Features
Read full description

Pencils are lined up and sharpeners are waiting. Your task is to send each pencil onto the conveyor and guide it into the sharpener with the matching color. When the colors match, the sharpener activates and the pencil gets perfectly sharpened. As more pencils enter the loop, timing and planning become essential to keep everything flowing smoothly. The conveyor never stops, the loop keeps turning, and every correct match is deeply satisfying. Sharpen every pencil and complete the line.
