Wool Sorting

About Wool Sorting: Color-Based Sorting Puzzle on Metal Rods

Wool Sorting is a relaxing yet addictive color-based sorting puzzle game — also known as Wool Sort — built around one satisfying core idea: moving segments of colored wool along metal rods until every rod holds a single uniform color. The rods themselves resemble dumbbell-like structures, and the wool pieces stacked on them give the whole thing a charming yarn aesthetic that sets it apart from more abstract sorting puzzles.

The challenge scales across hundreds of progressively trickier levels, drawing comparisons to a yarn-themed Tower of Hanoi variant with colorful sorting logic at its heart.

How to Play Wool Sorting: Sort Colors onto Dedicated Rods

The goal in every level is to organize all wool pieces so that each rod ends up holding only one color. Only the outermost wool piece on any rod can be moved — it can go to an empty rod or onto a rod whose top piece matches that color. Careful planning is essential; a few careless moves can leave you stuck with no valid placements remaining. Clear a level by sorting every color onto its own dedicated rod, and the next, trickier challenge unlocks.

Controls

• Mouse Click / Drag: Select and move a wool segment from one rod to another valid rod (desktop).
• Tap and Drag: Tap a wool segment on a rod, then drag it to an empty rod or a rod with a matching color on top to drop it (mobile).
• Undo Button (↺ icon): Tap to reverse your last move if you make a mistake.
• Home / Sound / Restart: Use on-screen icons to return to the menu, toggle sound, or restart the level.
