Spin the rings. Sort the gems. Orbit Sort is a calm ring puzzle. Colored rings overlap, and where two rings touch they share a hole. Tap the right side of a ring to spin it one notch clockwise, or the left side to spin it the other way. Gems ride along with the ring, and a gem sitting in a shared hole can cross onto the other ring. Get every gem onto the ring of its own color and the board is solved. It takes a minute to learn. The real puzzle is doing it in as few spins as possible: match the par for a level and you earn 3 stars. HOW TO PLAY - Tap the right half of a ring to spin it clockwise, the left half to spin it counterclockwise. - Gems change rings only through the holes that two rings share. - Sort every color onto its matching ring to win. - From level 10, some rings are linked by a belt: spin one and its partner turns the same way. FEATURES - 1000 levels, from a two-ring warm-up to boards with six rings - Stars and par: up to 3 stars per level for matching the par spin count - Endless mode unlocks at level 10: new random boards with 4 to 8 rings, every time - A new daily puzzle every day, the same for everyone, with a streak to keep - Color-blind marks in Settings put a shape on each gem color - Relaxing music, with separate switches for music, sound effects and haptics - Undo and Reset whenever you like, so you can test an idea and take it back - A dark, calm look that is easy on the eyes at night - Plays offline, no account and no sign-in - Free to play, supported by ads WHY PLAYERS LIKE IT Each board is a small logic puzzle about planning a few moves ahead. Spinning a ring is simple; finding the shortest route that sends every gem home is the part that keeps your brain busy. Play a level on the bus, or settle in for a long Endless session. If you enjoy color sort, ball sort or other sorting and logic puzzles, try a puzzle where the whole board turns.

Monster Sort

Sort the monsters. Set them free. Monsters are muddled up in cages, one kind per cage is the goal, and every one you send home walks off into its habitat. Monster Sort is a sort puzzle where the creatures you free are more than colours: twenty species with names, homes and stories, kept in a Monster Book that fills in as you play. THE MONSTER BOOK - Every monster you sort counts toward its card. Sort enough of one kind and you learn its name; finish its habitat and you hear its story. - Ten habitats, two species each. Clear a chapter of the Cages to rescue both. - Bronze, Silver and Gold cards pay Keys. EVERY BOARD CAN BE SOLVED - Each board is checked solvable before you ever see it. - Stuck? A Hint shows the next move: one Key you earned or a short video - your choice. - Undo and Shuffle are always there. NEW TWISTS FROM BOARD 31 - Hidden monsters, face down until you uncover them. - A locked cage that opens after a few moves. - A wild monster that fits in with any kind. - A race for the third star. SOMETHING EVERY DAY - A Daily Puzzle and a streak with badges. - Daily gifts, and three missions that pay Keys. - The weekly Monster Rally: seven days against forty rivals, Keys for your place, and a Daily Boost for your first board each day. - A Season Pass track with a free lane and a paid lane. FOUR ARCADE MODES - The Pit: dig through a pile against the clock. - The Conveyor: catch the right monster as it rides past. - The Grid: swipe and merge your way up. - The Horde: match the free pairs. - Each mode has its own leaderboard. KEYS AND COSMETICS - Keys you earn buy hints, an extra cage, a mission swap and new looks. - Twenty cage themes, a new cage every season and twelve board backdrops. - Eight celebrations that play when a cage's monsters go home. - Your progress survives a delete and reinstall - no account needed. Remove Ads takes away the full-screen ads and the banner; optional reward videos stay for when you want them. The Ad-Free + Offline pass removes every ad and lets you play with no connection.
