Book Nook is a cozy shelf-sorting puzzle. Drag the books on the right onto a matching shelf. Fill a shelf with one color and it locks. Clear every shelf to keep the shop. Forty campaign shelves get harder as you go. Today's nook is a fresh puzzle each day — play to keep the streak. Coins buy hints, a shop cat, lamps, and nook skins. The first treat takes about three shelves. Stuck? Undo, take a hint, or open one extra empty shelf. Watch a short ad, or buy No Ads and skip the wait. The Starter Pack is coins, hints, and the After Hours nook. No accounts. Progress stays on this iPhone or iPad. Apple handles every purchase.
