Discover a fresh twist on solitaire with Word Solitaire: Category Sort! Instead of stacking numbers, you sort word and picture cards into clever categories. Find hidden connections, uncover surprising word associations, and enjoy a relaxing word puzzle that still makes you think. No timer, no rush. Apple, Banana, Lemon: easy, it's Fruit. But is Mercury a planet or a Roman god? It depends on the board. Each board mixes words and picture cards from categories that have nothing in common, and it's up to you to sort them out. HOW TO PLAY 1. Draw cards from the deck and uncover the columns. 2. Place a category card in one of the slots at the top. 3. Sort every word and picture that belongs to it onto the pile. 4. Complete a category to free its slot, and clear the board to win. Plan ahead: your moves are limited, and the slots are few. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • 100 hand-crafted levels that grow from gentle warm-ups to real brain-benders • Word and picture cards: fruit, space, music, sport, nature and hundreds more categories • A word game and a card game in one: classic solitaire feel, brain-teaser depth • Learn as you play: drag any word onto the Aa slot to read what it means • Fresh twists as you go: narrow boards with fewer slots, tight levels with no move to spare, and locked columns to open • Play offline, anywhere: on a flight, on the train, or with no signal at all • Made for iPhone and iPad, with big, clear cards that are easy on the eyes FOUR POWER-UPS FOR STICKY BOARDS • Hint – See a helpful next move • Undo – Take back your last move • Joker – Place it on any column; it holds any card • Magnetic Magic – Pull every card of a category into its slot, even hidden ones LOCK & KEY Some columns are sealed by a lock card. Find the key hidden somewhere on the board, drag it onto the lock, and watch it burst open. DAILY CHALLENGES AND MILESTONES • New daily challenges every day, with coins for each one you finish • Long-term milestones for levels cleared, words learned and power-ups used • A daily gift that grows with your streak, up to day seven • Limited-time seasonal events with their own boards and rewards A DICTIONARY IN YOUR DECK Every word card in the game comes with its own short, friendly explanation, written for the board it sits on. A Bow on a violin board is the stick drawn across the strings; on a board of grand finales it's the bend a performer makes to the crowd. Look up a word you've never met, then sort it like a pro. EARN AS YOU GO Every first clear pays coins, and bigger boards pay more. Spend them on power-ups, extra moves when a board gets tight, or word meanings. Watch a short video when you want to double a level reward or a challenge reward. It's always your choice. A BRAIN GAME THAT FEELS LIKE A BREAK Spotting patterns and links one card at a time keeps your mind sharp without ever feeling like homework. Perfect for a coffee break, a commute or a long, slow evening. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Korean and Simplified Chinese. Switch at any time in Settings and every level, card and word meaning follows, even in the middle of a game. FAIR AND FRIENDLY The game is free to play from start to finish. The first levels are completely free of ad breaks, and reward videos only play when you choose to watch one. Prefer no interruptions at all? A one-time No Ads purchase removes ad breaks and banners for good. If you love solitaire, card games, word puzzles, word association or brain teasers, Word Solitaire: Category Sort will be your new favourite way to unwind. Download free and your first board is ready the moment you open the app. No sign-up, no account, just cards. Can you sort them all?
