Nook Sort
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 โ 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.
Drawer Tales
Read full descriptionHide full description
A tiny courier. A desk full of possibilities. Behind the wooden drawers, little doors lead to hidden mailboxes and neighbors with stories to share. Slide each drawer into place, connect the route and send your courier on a delivery through this warm miniature world. THINK SMALL. DISCOVER MORE. Explore 60 puzzles across six chapters. Line up doorways, work around wooden walls and fixed drawers, and reach every mailbox before the exit. A route that looks right may still leave a letter behind. FIND YOUR THREE-STAR ROUTE Try a different arrangement, undo a move or use a hint when you need a nudge. Earn stars for fewer moves. Replay completed hard levels with three stars to earn more stamps. MAKE THIS LITTLE WORLD YOURS Collect five couriers, each with a different look and story. Spend earned stamps on 15 decorations for the room and the puzzle drawers, from a trailing plant to a tiny wooden house. Open the letter journal to meet the neighbors along the way. A QUIET MOMENT, WHEREVER YOU ARE Play the puzzles offline, with no account required. Your progress is saved on your device. Enjoy a softly animated room, seasonal scenery, sound controls and a Reduce Motion option. Available in English, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Thai. Optional rewarded ads offer extra hint tickets or stamps and require an internet connection. You can continue playing without watching ads. Open a drawer. See where the next letter takes you. MORE LETTERS, NEW CHALLENGES Take on six resident orders and six self-solve challenges to earn extra stamps. Each challenge stage gives you three delivery attempts, with free restarts and unlimited drawer moves and undo. Hints are disabled in challenges; the regular campaign keeps unlimited delivery attempts. Every drawer in the 30 new levels can move.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Drawer Tales at none against Nook Sort's 2. Drawer Tales also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
