What is Shelves: sort desserts

Step into a charming pastry shop and bring order to the sweet chaos. Test your sorting skills as you match desserts to their perfect shelves.

How to Play

Drag each dessert from the conveyor or tray and drop it onto the shelf that matches its shape and color. Clear the board by placing every item correctly before the timer ends.

Tips for Playing

  • Scan all shelves first to identify which desserts are missing before you start dragging.
  • Prioritize moving desserts that appear only once, as they are often the key to unlocking the level.
  • If you get stuck, try moving a dessert to a temporary empty slot to free up space for others.
  • Keep an eye on the timer but don't rush—precision matters more than speed in early levels.
  • Remember that some desserts can be swapped between shelves if they share the same base color.
