Tidydeck: Sort Puzzle

Every card in Tidydeck: Sort Puzzle wants a matching deck, but your shelf only holds so many mistakes before the level collapses.

The premise is deceptively calm: a scattered field of cards, a few category decks, and a shelf with limited spots. You drag cards onto their matching deck. Easy, right? Then a card appears that belongs nowhere you can reach yet. You park it on the shelf. Then another. Then another. Suddenly that shelf is full and the field still has five cards you can't place, and you realize you've been playing on autopilot for the last thirty seconds. That's the tension. I lost my first three runs within a minute each, convinced the game was screwing me. It wasn't. The trick is not just matching what you see; it's predicting what those shelf slots will need to absorb two or three moves from now. Do you burn a shelf spot on a card you might place immediately after clearing the deck beneath it? Or hold out for the inevitable block that requires three moves to unlock? That mental math is the whole game. The cards themselves are clean, no clutter, so every category reads at a glance — which honestly makes the mistakes hurt more. It's hypercasual in the best sense: one mechanic, zero story, instant restarts. But it's not mindless. You'll develop little rituals — checking the leftmost shelf slot first, counting how many of one category are still buried under other cards. The levels get longer and deck types more varied, so your early shelf discipline pays off. If you like sorting puzzles like water sort or ball sort but want something with cards instead of colors, Tidydeck scratches that same itch with a slightly meaner edge.

Drag a card from the field onto the deck that matches its category. Park a card you cant place yet on the shelf. Clear every card to finish the level.

Don't autopilot your first few moves — scan the whole field for buried categories before you commit a card. Use the shelf as a temporary parking spot, but never fill it unless you have a plan to empty it within two moves. Clear the deck that's easiest to complete first, even if it means ignoring flashier matches. If two cards fit the same deck, place the one blocking more cards first. Restart early if you realize your initial shelf choices were wrong; there's no penalty for resetting a level. Keep one shelf slot empty whenever possible — it's your emergency valve.
