What is Timber Screw?

Timber Screw is a 30-level bolt-sorting puzzle. Tap an uncovered bolt and it goes into an open box of the same colour. If neither open box matches, it waits in the overflow tray. Boxes take three bolts; filling one opens the next box, which can pull matching bolts out of the tray. Removing bolts makes planks swing or fall, exposing bolts underneath. Clear every bolt before the tray fills.

Free bolts in the right order

  1. Choose a bolt not hidden beneath another plank. Removing it may loosen a plank and reveal lower bolts.
  2. Watch the colours of the two open boxes. A matching bolt goes straight in; another colour uses a tray slot until its box opens.
  3. Complete a box of three to advance the queue and transfer waiting bolts of that colour. Use Undo or Hint if your sequence blocks the tray.
  4. Finish when every bolt is gone. The tray holds five in early levels and four in the final storm levels.

Keep the overflow small

  • Take bolts matching an open box before loading the tray with a third colour.
  • A plank with one bolt left can swing down; consider which hidden bolts it will uncover.
  • Later puzzles hide bolt colours under acorn caps until their planks clear, so leave room for uncertainty.

Timber Screw FAQ

How many levels are there?

There are 30, with a smaller overflow tray in the final storm levels.

Why did a bolt go to the tray?

Neither of the two open boxes matched its colour. It can move from the tray when a matching box opens.

Can I remove a bolt under a plank?

No. Clear the plank above it first.

How many bolts fit in a box?

Three. A full box leaves and the next box in the queue opens.

What happens if the tray fills?

The level stops; use Undo for the last bolt or restart.
