A fresh match-and-sort puzzle twist: match colorful shapes, help the characters, and complete every goal before your moves run out! Match Sort is a colorful match-3 puzzle where the goals keep changing. Swap pieces to match 3 or more identical shapes, complete the three active Character Goals, and adapt as the next character enters the queue. Matches and cascades can both advance your goals, so a carefully planned move can create a powerful chain reaction. MATCH 3 OR MORE Swap neighboring pieces to create satisfying matches with bright, colorful shapes. Plan ahead, trigger cascades, and reshape the board as you work through each level. CREATE POWERFUL SPECIALS Match four shapes to create Twin Arrows, form T- or L-shaped matches to create powerful Bursts, and match five or more to create a six-color Spectrum Hex. Combine special pieces to unleash even bigger effects and turn difficult boards around. COMPLETE CHARACTER GOALS Three Character Goals are active at a time. Match their requested shapes to complete them and bring new characters forward. A preview shows which character is coming next, helping you plan for the changing goal sequence. MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT Each level gives you a limited number of moves. Use matches, cascades and special combinations wisely to complete the entire goal sequence before the move counter reaches zero. HELPFUL BONUSES Use the Hammer to remove a shape from the grid. Activate Clear Goal to complete one of the three current Character Goals and bring the next one forward. Need one last chance? Use +1 Move to continue playing. PICTURE REWARDS Complete levels, make progress, and unlock beautiful picture rewards as you play. Easy to learn, satisfying to master, and filled with colorful puzzle strategy. Match the shapes, complete the Character Goals, and master the changing queue!
