Wood Bolts Nuts Screw Pin Puzzle
Unscrew bolts from wooden boards and sort them onto matching pins. The closest thing to Magic Sort with hardware instead of liquid.
If Magic Sort clicks for you, this is the game to try next. The pieces are bolts instead of coloured liquid, and the containers are pins instead of tubes, but the underlying puzzle is identical: every bolt has a home, only one bolt moves at a time, and the board punishes you for filling a pin with the wrong colour early.
The wooden boards are held together by coloured bolts. Unscrew one and it flies to a pin of the same colour. Fill a pin completely and it clears, freeing space. Run out of free pins with mismatched bolts still on the board and the level is over.
What makes it hard. Bolts underneath other planks are locked until the plank above comes off. So the real puzzle is not colour matching — it is working out the order. Pull the wrong bolt first and you expose three more of a colour you have no room for.
If you get stuck, stop unscrewing and count. How many free pin slots do you actually have, and how many distinct colours are still exposed? If the second number is bigger than the first, no sequence saves you — restart and open the board in a different order.
