Tap a column, drop your tile, and sort each icon into a column of its own β€” no color-matching, no timers, no rush. Just clear, satisfying puzzle-solving, one tap at a time. Line up a full column of the same category to clear it, plan a few moves ahead, and string together those oddly satisfying clears.
🧩 SIMPLE TO PLAY, TRICKY TO MASTER

The rules take five seconds to learn. Each tile shows an icon β€” animals, foods, vehicles and more. Stack a full set of the SAME category in a column to clear it. Sort every category and you beat the level. One tap is all it takes… choosing the right tap is the real challenge!
🧠 RELAX & PLAY YOUR WAY

No pressure, no timers, no clock ticking down β€” just you and the board. Calming enough to unwind with, clever enough to keep your mind sharp. Play offline, anytime, anywhere. The perfect pocket puzzle for a quiet moment or a long commute.
πŸƒ USE THE JOKER TILE

Stuck one tile short? The Rainbow Joker is your wildcard β€” the spare you need to pull off the perfect clear. Plan around it and finish the board in style.
⚑ POWER-UPS WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Out of options? Bring in the help:

Undo β€” reverse your last move
Swap β€” switch any two tiles on the board
Magnet β€” sweep up a whole category in one go

❓ SURPRISE CARDS

Watch for hidden tiles! Surprise Cards keep their category secret until they reach the bottom row. Reveal them, rethink your plan, and adapt on the fly.
🎯 HUNDREDS OF HANDCRAFTED LEVELS

Every level is a fresh brain teaser. Limited moves mean every tap counts β€” think ahead, sort smart, and watch the board fall into place. New mechanics and tougher boards keep things interesting the deeper you go.
