About this game

Every bubble holds a word. Every word belongs to a family. Your job is simple: put them where they belong.
LION goes with TIGER. PIZZA goes with TACO. Get four words of one family into a single bubble and it pops.
No colour matching. No timers. Just you, a soap machine full of words, and the quiet satisfaction of putting things in the right place.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Tap the machine to produce a bubble
• Drag it onto its category.
• Four words and it pops
• Clear the whole machine to finish the level

ONE FINGER, NO RUSH
There is no clock. Take as long as you like on every move. The only limit is how many moves you have, so think before you drop.

NOTHING IS EVER WASTED
Do not want the bubble in your hand? Skip it and it melts into the tank, then comes right back when you need it. You can never run out and you can never get stuck.

MACHINES THAT FIGHT BACK
Every few levels the machine adds something new:
• FROZEN BUBBLES — you can read the word but nothing goes in until the ice cracks
• SEALED WELLS — a bolted hatch hides what is underneath. Pop bubbles to break in
• SPAWNERS — a hopper that keeps dropping fresh bubbles in. Keep up
• LAYERS — a big bubble will bury its small neighbour. Pop it to set it free
• SPIRAL TRACKS — bubbles slide inward on a wire and you cannot reorder them

SATISFYING BY DESIGN
Bubbles are glass. They wobble, they catch the light, they burst with a wet pop. Sort well and one pop sets off the next, and the next, and the tempo tightens as the chain grows. It is the good kind of loud.

136 WORDS, 17 FAMILIES
Animals, Birds, Foods, Drinks, Body, Numbers, Flags, Capitals, Time, Sports, Vehicles, Insects, Airport, Rooms, Farm, Dance and Board Games. Some are easy. Some make you stop and think about where a word really belongs.

PLAY ANYWHERE
Fully offline. No account. No internet needed. Pick it up for one level or forty.

GOOD FOR YOUR HEAD
A word sorting puzzle is quiet exercise for the part of your brain that likes order. Great for building vocabulary, great for winding down, and honestly great for a queue.
