Sort Stack
Sort Stack offers a calming yet mentally stimulating puzzle experience. The objective is straightforward: each stack contains a mix of colored blocks, and your task is to move them around until every stack holds blocks of a single color. However, the seemingly simple premise quickly evolves into a complex test of foresight and strategy as the number of colors and stacks increases. The game's clean visuals and gentle pace create a relaxing atmosphere, but don't be fooled—each level is carefully designed to challenge your planning skills. With no time limits and no pressure, you can approach each puzzle at your own speed, making it perfect for a quick mental break or a longer session of sustained focus. As you progress, you'll encounter increasingly tricky arrangements that require careful moves and a clear head to solve.

What is Sort Stack
Ready to put your sorting skills to the test? Sort Stack is a puzzle game that turns a simple concept into a series of increasingly clever challenges.
How to Play
Tap or click on a stack to select its top block, then choose another stack to move that block there. You can only place a block on top of a matching color, and you need to sort all colors into complete stacks to beat the level.
Tips for Playing
- Focus on freeing up a stack to use as a temporary holding area, moving blocks out of the way when needed.
- Remember that you can always undo a move if you realize you're stuck, so don't hesitate to experiment.
- Try to avoid moving a block onto a stack if it would trap a different color underneath.
- Plan a few moves ahead, but remember that the game allows you to rearrange blocks freely, so there's often more than one solution.
- If you get stuck, take a step back and look at the overall layout instead of focusing on one stack.
