Sort Arrows

Sort Arrows is a brain-teasing puzzle that drops you into a grid filled with arrows pointing every which way. Your mission is to tidy up the chaos by rotating each arrow and swapping its position so that every column ends up with a uniform direction. It starts simple, but as the grid expands, you'll need to think several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck. The game is all about pattern recognition and careful planning. You'll find yourself scanning rows and columns, figuring out the most efficient sequence of rotations and swaps. Each level introduces a new layout, ramping up the challenge and keeping your spatial reasoning skills sharp. With its clean visuals and satisfying "aha" moments, Sort Arrows offers a relaxing yet engaging mental workout that's easy to pick up but hard to put down.

What is Sort Arrows

Get ready to untangle a grid of arrows in this clever puzzle experience. Rotate, swap, and sort your way to victory!

How to Play

Click or tap an arrow to rotate it, and drag or click to swap its position with another arrow. Arrange all arrows so each column shares the same direction to clear the level.

Tips for Playing

  • Focus on one column at a time to avoid getting overwhelmed.
  • Look for columns that are almost complete and finish them first.
  • Use rotations before swapping to reduce the number of moves.
  • Plan your swaps to avoid blocking an already-sorted column.
  • If stuck, undo a few steps and rethink your approach.
