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.

Sort it. Match it. Clear the board! Welcome to Cardrop: Sort & Match, a relaxing card sorting puzzle where every move matters. Organize colorful item cards into the right categories, uncover new cards, and clear the board one smart move at a time. - Sort Cards by Category Look closely at each item card and find the category it belongs to. Fruits go with fruits, instruments with instruments, furniture with furniture, and more. Move cards to their matching category targets to make progress. Complete every category and clear all remaining cards to win the level. - Watch the Cards Drop The board is more than a simple collection of cards. When you remove a card from the main board, the cards above it drop down in sequence. New cards can be revealed as the board changes, so every move can open up a new possibility. Plan ahead and think about which cards you should clear first. A good move can create a path for the cards waiting above. - Think Ahead Not every card needs to be handled immediately. Some cards may be useful later, while others can temporarily get in your way. Put cards aside when you need more space, keep important paths open, and decide which category to complete next. The goal is simple, but finding the right order is up to you. - Simple Rules, Smart Decisions Cardrop: Sort & Match is easy to learn: • Find cards that belong to the same category • Move them to the matching category target • Clear cards to reveal new ones • Keep the board organized as you play • Complete all categories before you run out of moves Every level gives you a new board to organize and a new sorting puzzle to solve. - Relaxing Puzzle Experience Take your time, observe the board, and enjoy the satisfying feeling of putting everything in its place. With colorful cards, familiar objects, and simple sorting mechanics, Cardrop: Sort & Match is made for short breaks or longer puzzle sessions. Can you find the perfect order for every card? - Sort Your Way to Victory Choose your next move carefully. Complete a category now or prepare the board for cards that are about to drop? Use your temporary space or clear the path first? Save a useful move or make progress on another category? There is more than one thing to watch, and every decision can change the board. Sort the cards. Match the categories. Clear the board. Play Cardrop: Sort & Match and turn a messy board into a perfectly organized one!
