Goods Sort Puzzle
A little market. A clever match. Make room for the next good thing.
About This Game
Turn crowded shelves into a clean finish. This goods sorting puzzle combines visible products, hidden layers and carefully managed empty spaces in 100 playable levels.
How to Play
- Drag a front product into a completely empty shelf slot and release, or tap a visible product and then tap an empty slot. You cannot swap products or place one in an occupied slot.
- Fill all three positions across one shelf row with the same visible product. The three matching products disappear automatically; further matching rows clear as hidden layers come forward.
- Clear every product to win. Early shelves allow unlimited moves. Advanced and expert levels have a displayed move limit. You lose when that limit is exhausted or no legal move remains.
- Each attempt includes five Undos, five Hints, two Shuffles and two Extra Moves uses. Undo restores the last board action. Hint outlines a verified move. Shuffle keeps all remaining goods and requires a proven solution within your remaining moves. Extra Moves adds five moves on limited levels.
Controls
Mouse or touch: drag a front product into a glowing empty slot, or tap a product and then an empty slot. An occupied slot or a drop outside the shelf returns the product without spending a move. Escape cancels a drag. Use the icon tools in the shelf below the game canvas; their corner badges show remaining uses. While the canvas is focused, keys 1-4 activate Undo, Hint, Shuffle and +5 moves. Undo and +5 remain available after a loss when their original conditions allow recovery. Pause stops board input; Resume continues. The level picker restores each saved attempt. On a keyboard, focus the canvas, use arrow keys to move the interaction point and press Space or Enter to select it.
Game Features
- 100 original, solution-verified shelf layouts across four progression tiers.
- Oblique shelves with eight original toy product designs, visible upcoming stock and automatic triple clears.
- A bounded search solver for hints, plus verified constructive shuffling that never deletes stock.
- Local progress, restart, level selection, sound controls and supported-browser fullscreen.
Tips & Strategies
- Keep a completely empty slot available. Moving from a deep stack can use up an empty space without freeing the source.
- Read the depth counter. A clear can reveal several new products, so prepare another shelf before opening a deep queue.
- Use Undo when a move blocks the board. A Hint may report that it cannot prove a solution in its search budget; a verified Shuffle can help when enough moves remain.
- A shown solution length is a verified upper bound, not a promise that it is the shortest possible solution.
FAQ
What counts as a match in this goods sort game?
All three visible positions in the same shelf row must hold the same product. Adjacent products in different rows do not match. Only those three front items clear.
Can I move a hidden product?
No. You can move only the front product of a stack, and the destination must be entirely empty. A depth counter shows how many products remain in that slot.
Are the shelf sorting game levels solvable?
Every published layout has a solution certificate replayed through the actual rules, within any stated move limit. Player moves can still lead to a blocked board or an exhausted budget.
Does Shuffle cost an ad view?
No. Each attempt has two free Shuffles. A shuffle is refused without consuming a use if a solution cannot be guaranteed within the remaining move budget. No rewarded advertising is connected.
