What is Hex Nut Sort?

Hex Nut Sort is a bolt-sorting puzzle: finish with each nonempty bolt holding four nuts of one color. Tap a source bolt, then a destination. The game transfers the exposed run of matching nuts from the top, as many as the destination can fit. You can place them on an empty bolt or one topped by the same color. Lower nuts may be hidden until the upper ones move, so plan around what you can currently see.

Make legal transfers

  1. Look at the top nut on each bolt. Choose an unfinished source and an empty destination or one with the same top color and room for more nuts.
  2. Move a matching top run. A bolt holds four; once all four are the same color, that bolt is complete and no longer supplies nuts.
  3. Repeat until every bolt is either empty or a complete single-color stack. If no legal move remains, use Undo, Add Bolt or Restart.

Moves and the spare bolt

  • Each level has a move target. Finishing at or under it gives the base three-star result; a small overrun gives two, and using the spare bolt removes one star from the final rating.
  • Undo restores the previous arrangement, including hidden nuts, but does not refund the move already counted. Restart begins the current level again.
  • Add Bolt gives one extra empty destination for the attempt. Use it to free a trapped color when there is no clean transfer left.

Hex Nut Sort FAQ

Can I place a nut on any bolt with space?

No. The destination must be empty or have the same top color, and it cannot already hold four nuts.

Does one move transfer only one nut?

A move can transfer the visible same-color run from the top, up to the destination’s free capacity.

Why did a new color appear after moving a nut?

Some levels conceal nuts lower in a stack until those above are removed.

Does Undo lower the move counter?

No. It restores the stacks but the used move remains counted.

What happens if I use Add Bolt?

You gain one empty bolt for that attempt, and the earned star rating is reduced by one.
