Nut Sort: Color Puzzle Game is a sorting logic puzzle game in the hardware subcategory. Across numerous levels, the player sorts different colors of painted nuts on white bolts. Their primary goal is to create one-color stacks.
The game provides the player with mixed-colored stacks of nuts on some bolts and one or more empty bolts. When the player selects a nut and an empty bolt or a space above a matching nut on a bolt that contains a partial stack, the game auto-transfers the piece. If they select a partial stack of matching nuts, the game transfers the entire group if there's enough room. Otherwise, it only transfers enough nuts to fill the available space.
Nut Sort: Color Puzzle Game doesn't allow the player to move nuts atop non-matching ones. Additionally, it sometimes presents obstacles, such as mystery nuts marked with black paint and white question marks.
As a result, the player must use various strategies to sort the nuts into one-color stacks. For additional help, the game provides two tools below the bolts. The player can undo their moves up to three times and add extra bolts to the playfield. If they run out of access, they merely need to view advertising videos.
