About Bolts and nuts
Unlike water sort, where you pour full tubes of color, Bolts and Nuts tasks you with unscrewing the right bolt from a plank so that the entire plank falls away. The divergence is precise: you aren't matching colors into tubes but freeing planks one bolt at a time, choosing which bolt to remove next based on the physical stacking of bolts across planks. This changes the puzzle from a color-matching exercise to a spatial extraction puzzle where the order of removal matters, not the container contents. Click the bolt that keeps the plank from dropping, and watch the structure shift.
Bolts and Nuts is a satisfying logic puzzle where you unscrew bolts from wooden planks. The trick is picking the right bolt to remove so the rest come loose in the correct order. Each move demands a bit of strategy — one wrong choice and you’re stuck. It’s oddly addictive, and competing with friends makes it even better.
How to Play Bolts and nuts
- Select a bolt on a plank by clicking it with the left mouse button (or tapping on touchscreen) to unscrew it.
- If you unscrew a bolt that was holding a plank, that plank drops away, revealing any bolts behind it.
- Screw a bolt back into an empty hole by clicking on that hole with the left mouse button (or tapping).
- Continue unscrewing bolts until all planks have been removed and no bolts remain.
- The puzzle is solved when the screen is clear of all bolts and planks.
Game Features
- Planks that drop when their supporting bolt is removed, revealing hidden bolts behind.
- The need to choose the correct bolt to unscrew first, as wrong choices can block access to other bolts.
- A single-player logic puzzle with a clear goal: remove all planks and bolts.
- Touch controls on smartphone allow tapping to select and place bolts directly.
- Bolt holes that accept only one bolt at a time, requiring careful ordering of removal and reinsertion.
Tips & Strategies
- Look for planks with only one bolt attached — unscrew that bolt first to clear the plank and expose new bolts.
- If you get stuck, try screwing a bolt back into an empty hole to change the order of available bolts.
- Focus on bolts that are not blocked by other planks above them, as those are always accessible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I unscrew a bolt that isn't holding anything?
The bolt is removed but the plank stays in place. You can screw it back into any empty hole.
Can I play this game with a friend?
The provider mentions competing with friends and colleagues, suggesting a score or level comparison feature, but no multiplayer mode is described.
How do I know which bolt to unscrew first?
Look for planks that are only held by one bolt — those planks drop immediately when that bolt is unscrewed, giving you access to bolts beneath.
