Sortado puts a smart new spin on tile puzzles by turning every match into a category challenge. Instead of matching identical tiles, you must find the connection between different objects and group them into the correct sets. Sports equipment, school items, kitchen ingredients, vehicles, and many more categories are waiting to be discovered. Select related tiles, move them to the tray, and complete each group to clear the board. Every level introduces new layouts, hidden layers, and carefully placed tiles that make each move more important. Some items are blocked beneath others, so you will need to think ahead and choose the right order. With only six spaces available in the tray, filling it too quickly can leave you without room to complete a set. Easy to learn, satisfying to solve, and designed for play at your own pace! Sortado offers a calm and rewarding puzzle experience that tests your logic, observation, and sorting skills.
