# Shape Sorter

> Drop each shape through the right hole.

Your character stands beside a wooden sorter box and cheers you on. Drag the bright shapes from the rug into their matching holes: circles, squares, triangles, stars and hearts, then hexagons and moons. In the last levels the box asks for one shape in one color, like the blue star. There is no timer and no way to fail, so take it at your own pace.

## How to play

1. Drag a shape from the rug into the hole with the same outline. You can also tap a shape and then tap its hole, or use the arrow keys to pick a shape, Enter to pick it up, the arrows to choose a hole and Enter to drop it.
2. A right match drops in with a sparkle. A shape that doesn't fit wobbles and floats back, so just try another hole.
3. In the color levels, find the shape the bubble asks for. Its hole lights up in that color.
4. Each shape placed on the first try earns a star. Stuck? Wait a moment and a trail of dots shows the way.

## Tips

- Wrong hole? The shape just floats back, so try another one.
- Waiting a moment shows a trail of dots to the right hole.
- The color levels ask for one shape in one color, like the blue star.
- Go for every star: each shape placed on the first try earns one.
