Sort Tiles: Tap Away is a tile-sorting logic-puzzle game that has elements of play similar to parking lot sorting games. The young woman from Sort Works: Nuts and Order needs the player's help again to complete projects.
This time around, the player must remove tiles marked with directional arrows from pieces of paper to reveal hidden pictures of everyday items and win gemstones. They must also collect stars to unlock outdoor scenes of a forest, a garden and other locations.
All tiles distributed across a paper match the colors of the paint used to create the picture. Each arrow points up, down, left or right. The player can't remove tiles that are blocked or that point toward another tile.
If the player makes a mistake during this process, they receive a red X along the bottom of the screen. After they make three mistakes, they must watch an advertisement to continue playing. They can also use a red heart to start over.
Sort Tiles: Tap Away has three boosters on the right side of the screen. For example, the player can use a hint light bulb to reveal an unblocked tile. It also allows the player to modify their username and avatar icon and set up an account to save their progress.
