Screw & Spin
Screw & Spin takes the classic match-three concept and gives it a mechanical twist. Instead of swapping gems, you rotate interlocking screws to line up matching colors. Each level presents a new configuration of screws, demanding careful observation and strategic turning to clear the board before you run out of moves. The satisfying click of a successful match drives you forward, and the increasing complexity of later puzzles keeps your brain engaged. What sets this game apart is its focus on spatial reasoning. Each screw has multiple sides, and a single rotation can change the alignment of several pieces at once. This means every move can have ripple effects, adding a layer of depth that rewards planning. With its clean visuals and intuitive controls, it's perfect for quick sessions or longer play marathons. Whether you're a puzzle veteran or new to the genre, Screw & Spin offers a fresh, satisfying challenge.

What is Screw & Spin
Twist, turn, and match your way through a mechanical puzzle adventure. See if you can untangle every board and set a new high score.
How to Play
Tap or click on the screws to rotate them. Match three or more screws of the same color in a row or column to clear them from the board.
Tips for Playing
- Plan your rotations ahead—one turn affects the whole row or column.
- Prioritize matching screws near the top to let new ones fall into place.
- Look for screws that are already partially aligned to make quick matches.
- Save your special moves for when the board is nearly full.
- Take your time; there's no timer, so think before you spin.
