Sorting Nuts and Bolts by Color: Home Repair

Fifteen thousand levels of nuts and bolts, and you'll still want one more go. That's the pull of Sorting Nuts and Bolts by Color: Home Repair - pick a nut off one bolt, drop it on another, and keep chasing that satisfying moment when a whole bolt turns a single clean color.

There's no clock ticking, so you can sink into the soothing sounds and tactile feedback without pressure. Question marks hide secret colors until you uncover them, and when you get stuck you've got bonuses on hand - an extra bolt, an undo, a full restart. Every completed level chips away at building your dream home, so the sorting actually adds up to something.

It's a proper Puzzle game with real bite for anyone who likes Color Matching Games and can't resist a tidy row of matching colors, but it's calm enough to play one-handed while your brain switches off from everything else. Free, no download, works right in your browser.

If you like puzzles that reward patient thinking over fast reflexes, it sits nicely alongside other Mind Games on the site.

Sort every nut so each bolt holds only one color. Click a bolt to select the nut sitting on top of it, then click another bolt to move that nut there - just make sure there's enough room before you commit.

Stuck on a tricky arrangement? Use your bonuses: add an extra bolt, undo your last move, or restart the level completely. Question marks cover some nuts, so part of the challenge is uncovering their colors as you go.

Tip: plan a couple of moves ahead before you touch anything - clearing space on one bolt often unlocks the move you actually need.
