How it plays

Snug Sort is a colour-sorting puzzle for short breaks. Each peg or tube holds four pieces. Move matching colours onto each other, use the empty tubes to make room, and finish when every one holds a single colour.

The first levels teach the idea in seconds. After that the boards grow and the spare space shrinks. Every few levels a Tight squeeze gives you just one empty tube, and you have to think a few moves ahead.

Stuck? Undo a move, or watch a short ad for a hint or an extra tube. The game is free and supported by ads.

Tips

How to play well

Pour onto a match
A pour moves every matching piece on top of a peg or tube, as many as will fit. Pour onto the same colour where you can, and save the empty tubes for when you really need the room.
Restart is free
The restart button gives you the same board again, because each level is fixed. It costs no undos, so use it when a level has gone badly wrong rather than undoing ten moves.
Hint checks before the ad
The game works out a solution from where you are before it offers an ad. If it can't find a way out, it tells you so for free, and your next step is Undo or an extra tube.
Plan for tight squeezes
From level 10, every third level gives you just one spare tube. Think a few pours ahead before you start, and keep the extra tube for these levels.

Questions

Asked and answered

Is Snug Sort free, and what ads does it show?

It's free and supported by ads. There are no banner ads. A full-screen ad can appear when you go to the next level, but never before you've finished level 10, then at most once every ten levels and at least five minutes apart. Any other ad plays only when you choose it, to get a hint, an extra tube or five more undos.

How many undos do I get?

Five free undos on every level. If you use them all, you can watch an ad for five more on that level. Restarting a level is always free.

Is there a daily puzzle?

No. Levels are fixed rather than random, so each level is the same board for everyone, and the win screen shows how many moves you took.

Does it work offline?

Yes, in the Android app. Levels are made on your phone, so you can play without a connection. Hints, extra tubes and undo refills come from ads, so those need a connection.

Where is my progress saved?

Only on your device. There's no account, so progress doesn't move between devices, and the app and the browser version keep separate saves. Uninstalling the app, or clearing this site's data in your browser, takes you back to level 1.

How do I change the look or turn off sound?

Open Settings with the gear button. You can choose Woodshop, Sweet shop, Deep sea or Apothecary, and switch sound, vibration and colour-blind symbols on or off.
