About The Sort Agency

The eye scans the board in a deliberate arc—first the top row where the target list shows exactly which items must be cleared, then down to the chaotic pile below. Each object sits in its own tile, waiting to be grouped by shape and colour. The visual cue is a triple match: three identical items snap into focus as the player's gaze traces possible combinations. But the real pattern lies in the limited hand—a three-slot bar at the bottom that mirrors a physical tray. Before any tap, the player must see whether the tile they want can join two already held, or whether picking it up will clog the tray and stall the sweep. The board rewards a scanning rhythm that balances the target list against the tray's capacity, turning every level into a visual puzzle of prioritisation.

Welcome to the world's top sorting agency, where your keen eye and sharp mind bring perfect order. Each level is a satisfying puzzle: scan the chaotic pile, find three matching items, and clear them away. But be strategic—you can only hold so many at once. The real thrill is in that clean sweep, watching the list shrink as you organize everything into nothing. It’s a simple, addictive loop of spotting patterns and planning your moves for that perfectly tidy victory.

How to Play The Sort Agency

  1. Tap any item on the playing field to select it and place it into the bottom tray.
  2. Select two more identical items to fill the three-slot tray and automatically clear that set from the board.
  3. Watch the target list at the top of the screen—it shrinks as matching groups are removed.
  4. Clear every item type from the target list to complete the level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I pick up a fourth item when the tray is full?

The game does not allow a fourth selection—you must first clear a set of three or swap an existing item from the tray by tapping a new item on the field.

Can I remove an item from the tray without matching it?

Yes, tapping any item still on the playing field while the tray is full replaces the last item you placed in the tray with the new one.

What does the target list show exactly?

The target list displays each unique item type that must be cleared from the level, with a counter showing how many of each remain.

Is there a time limit or penalty for wrong selections?

The game is untimed, and selecting items that don't match simply fills the tray without penalty—you can always swap or clear later.
