Nuts and Bolts Screwing Puzzle — Play Free Online
More Match & Sort games
Nuts and Bolts Screwing Puzzle is a sorting-and-untangling puzzle built around a simple picture: a stack of metal plates held together by bolts. Your job is to take the bolts out in the right order so the plates come loose and fall away. There is no timer to race and no reflex test, so a session is a string of small, quiet decisions.
It sits on the sorting-puzzle shelf of Suika Game, and it makes a good change of pace from the drop-and-merge games around it. Where a watermelon-style game asks you to react to whatever falls next, here the whole board is visible from the start and every choice is yours to plan.
How to play
The game is played almost entirely with the mouse, or with a finger on a touchscreen. Click or drag a piece to move it, and start each level by looking at which plates rest on top of which. A bolt that is holding something up can only come out safely once the pieces it is trapping have somewhere to go.
The advice printed with the game is to think a move or two ahead, and that is the whole skill. Before you remove anything, trace what will happen to the neighbouring plates: does taking this piece out free a plate, or does it only shuffle the problem to another corner of the board?
Tips
- Scan the whole board first. Pieces that are clearly on top of the pile are usually safe to move early, while the ones buried underneath tell you what has to happen last.
- Work backwards from the plate you most want to free, and ask which pieces are standing in its way.
- If a level gets tangled, stop and re-read it rather than clicking at random. Moves made on a hunch tend to block your own space.
- Free spare room where you can. Keeping an empty spot available gives you somewhere to put a piece while you work out the rest.
