🐶 Dog Sort: Puppy Puzzle

Puppies are scattered across tree branches and have to be grouped by breed. It is a sorting puzzle in a friendlier costume: same planning as the tube-and-liquid versions, softer edges.

Each level starts with pugs, greyhounds and other breeds mixed up on the branches, plus a little free room to work with. Tap to pick a puppy up, tap a branch to set it down. When every branch holds one breed, the level is done.

🎮 How to Play

Tap and move: tap a puppy to pick it up, then tap a branch to set it down
Match or empty: a puppy only lands on a branch that already ends in its breed, or on one with nothing on it
Group them all: finish the level by getting every breed onto a branch of its own

Later levels add breeds and take away spare branches, which is where it stops being easy.

🏆 Spend your empty branches carefully

Empty branches are the thing you are actually spending. Parking a puppy on one to get it out of the way feels productive and costs you the only slot that can undo a mistake later. Move it there when it completes a breed, or when you already know the move it unlocks.

Two more habits that clear hard levels:

Finish the nearly done branch first. A branch one puppy short of a full breed is the cheapest win on the board. Completing it frees your attention, and on many levels the breed it locks away was blocking something else.
Save boosters for the endgame. Undo and Shuffle are worth most when the board is nearly solved and one wrong move would cost the level. Spent in the opening, they fix a problem you could have solved by looking a little longer.

The same planning works in our other sorting games, and the water sort tips carry over almost one for one.

❓ Questions players ask

Is Dog Sort free? Yes. Every level is free to play, and purchases are optional.

Does it need Wi-Fi? No. Dog Sort plays offline, so it works on a plane or with data switched off.

What if I get stuck? Use Undo to step back, Shuffle to rearrange the board, or add a branch for more room.
