Ring Sort is a beautifully simple puzzle where you sort colored rings onto poles until every pole holds one color. Tap a pole to lift its top ring. Tap another pole to place it. The catch: you can only stack a ring on an empty pole or on a ring of the same color. Plan three moves ahead. Untangle the knots. Find the flow. WHAT YOU GET • 200 levels: 50 hand-crafted starters plus 150 procedurally generated puzzles, every one guaranteed solvable • Daily Challenge: one fresh puzzle every day, build your streak • 6 ring themes: Classic, Donuts, Gummies, Macarons, Halo, Neon — unlock them with coins you earn, or get all six instantly with Pro • Five built-in music tracks: quiet, looping, never grating • Clean iOS-native design: real type, real rings, zero clutter • Zero ads, no pop-ups, no timer pressure • Smart hint system when you're stuck (3 free per level) • Unlimited undo on every level • Progress saved automatically WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most sort puzzles are full of banners, popups, and energy timers.

PERFECT FOR • Anyone who loves minimalist logic puzzles and quiet brain games • Travelers wanting an offline puzzle that respects their time • People who like puzzles that feel handmade, not mass-produced RING SORT PRO Optional subscription unlocks unlimited hints, all 6 ring themes, and 2x coins on every win. 7-day free trial on the annual plan.
