Twists: Rotate & Sort Puzzle

A calm rotate and sort puzzle about one simple move: turn four tiles at a time until every shape is back in its own row.

A board of tiles, each with a shape. Tap where four tiles meet and they turn a quarter round, like a little wheel. Keep turning until every shape is back in its own row: circles at the top, then triangles, squares and diamonds.

It sounds easy. But every turn moves four tiles at once, so putting one tile right often moves another away. The trick is finding the turns that help without undoing what is already sorted.

Later boards add colors, which belong in columns; tiles that turn with the block and have to end upright; and big turns that move nine tiles at once.
