Shop Sorting Xmas

That moment when a shelf finally clears because you slotted the third matching bauble into place - that's the hook in Shop Sorting Xmas. You're sorting a jumbled Christmas toy shop, dragging identical toys and decorations together until you land a triplet and the shelf wipes clean.

The setup is simple but it scratches that tidy-up itch hard. Find matching items, group them in threes, watch the shelf empty, repeat. It's the same satisfying loop that fans of Sorting games and Puzzle games keep coming back for, just wrapped in snow and tinsel.

As you clear levels you unlock new Christmas items, holiday backgrounds and shop shelves, so the shop itself keeps changing shape even while the core matching stays familiar. If tile-matching is more your speed, Mahjong Connect runs on a similar find-the-match instinct.

It plays straight in your browser on desktop or mobile, no download, and it's free. Landscape orientation, so tilt your phone and start clearing shelves.

Clear every shelf in the shop to complete a level. Drag items around and place them onto the shelves - when three identical items end up together on a shelf, they match and disappear.

Keep an eye on shelf space before you start piling items on; a shelf that fills up without completing a triplet just gets in your way. Work on one or two item types at a time instead of scattering matches everywhere.

As you clear levels you'll unlock new items, backgrounds and shelves, which keeps the sorting fresh even once you've got the basic drag-and-match down.
