How to Play Like a Pro

How to untangle a mess without making it worse. Screw Sort Pin Puzzle is a satisfying logic game where you carefully move pins to restore perfect order. What you do in the game Each level starts with pins twisted or tangled in a confusing setup. Your job is to: Move pins in a smart order, Free blocked pieces, End with everything sorted and tidy. Your loop: Study the puzzle (don’t touch yet). Move one pin. Check what changed (what’s now free, what’s still stuck). Repeat until the level is neatly solved. Real player moment: the first few moves feel obvious… then you realize two pins are “locking” each other and you need a new plan. Controls Desktop Click a pin to select it, then click where it should go (or drag, depending on the version). Mobile Tap to select and tap to place, or drag if supported. How you win / how progress works You win a level by getting pins into the correct order and removing the tangle. Levels get harder by: Adding more pins, Creating tighter locks, Giving you fewer safe places to temporarily park a pin. Pins, order, and “blocking” Most levels have a simple truth: some pins can’t move until another pin moves first. So this game isn’t about speed—it’s about solving the “who blocks who” problem. Tips to solve faster (12 specific tips) Do a 3-second scan first. Look for the pin that has the clearest path. Free a trapped pin before sorting perfectly. Untangle first, organize second. Move the “topmost” blocker first. If one pin sits over others, it’s usually the first key. Use a spare spot like a parking space. Temporary moves are normal—plan for them. Don’t commit too early. If you’re not sure where a pin belongs, park it safely. Work from the outside in. Outer pins often unlock the center. Avoid creating a new lock. Before you place a pin, ask: “Will this block something else?” If two pins depend on each other, look for a third pin you can move first. There’s often a hidden “starter” move. Make small progress every move. A move that changes nothing is usually a mistake. When stuck, reverse your last step mentally. The wrong placement is often just one move ago. If frustration hits, pause for 10 seconds. Your brain sees patterns better after a reset. Coach voice: Patience beats panic. Tiny tip that feels real: If you keep placing the same pin wrong, stop trying to “force” it—free another pin first and come back later. Levels / modes / progression This is classic puzzle progression: Early levels teach the rules, Middle levels add tricky locks, Later levels require planning two moves ahead. Common problems & quick fixes A pin won’t move: It’s blocked or the destination isn’t valid. Try a different pin first. Mis-taps on mobile: Tap slower and aim for the center of pins. Lag: Close other tabs; animations can stutter on older devices. No sound: Check volume (some puzzles are silent). Fullscreen issues: Toggle fullscreen or refresh once. Parent note (2–3 lines) Great for logic, patience, and learning to plan before acting. Suggest a break after 5 levels—coming back fresh makes hard puzzles easier.
