Spice Sort is a calm, hand-crafted sorting puzzle. Pour ground spices between glass jars until every jar holds a single color. That's the whole game — no timers, no lives, no energy meters, no pressure. It's the sort-puzzle you've played before, with a warmer soul: a dim pantry, real glass jars, and eight richly colored spices — turmeric, paprika, basil, sumac, black pepper, cinnamon, blue butterfly pea, and pink Himalayan salt. WHY YOU'LL KEEP IT ON YOUR PHONE • 500 hand-tuned levels, each one guaranteed solvable • A new Daily Spice every day — the same puzzle for everyone, with a streak to keep • Unlimited undo and instant restart.

Sort another.

About

Gumbly Match

Read full description

Gumbly Match is a match-3 puzzle game built around one idea: it should respect the player. No ads. No energy or lives that force you to wait. No currencies, no consumable boosters, no loot boxes, no fake sales, no push notifications guilting you back in. Play as much as you want, whenever you want, even offline. Swap toy pieces to match 3, 4, or 5 in a row, clear the clutter, and work through hundreds of handcrafted levels. Every board is winnable, and the game never quietly makes a level harder because you're close to a purchase, or easier to bait one. WHAT'S FREE Toy Basics: 250 levels, the whole base game. Not a demo, not a trial. If you've ever quit a puzzle game because it wanted you to wait, watch an ad, or spend real money to keep playing a level you'd already beaten, Gumbly Match is built for you instead.
