About Screw Out
Screw Out is a screw sort puzzle on a wooden table. Tap a screw and it flies into the open box of the same color. Each box holds 3 screws. When a box fills it flies away, the next color slides in, and a matching screw in the spare tray flies up with it. Clear a plank’s screws and that plank drops.
A screw that does not match an open box parks in a spare tray of 5 slots. Fill all five and the level ends, so the order matters. There are 10 hand-made levels. Fewer screws in the tray earn more stars, up to 3. It runs in any browser on phones, tablets and computers, and your progress is saved on your device.
How to play Screw Out
- Tap an uncovered screw. It flies into the open box of the same color. A screw buried under a plank will not move until that plank is gone.
- Each box holds 3 screws. When it fills, it flies away and the next color slides in. A matching screw waiting in the tray flies up into that box.
- A screw that does not match an open box parks in the spare tray. The tray has 5 slots. Fill all five and the level ends.
- A plank drops once every screw in it is out. Clear every plank to finish the level.

Tips and tricks
- Work from the top plank down. Screws covered by another plank stay stuck.
- Match the open boxes before you park a color in the tray.
- When a box fills, the next color slides in and can pull a matching screw out of the tray.
- Use the tray sparingly. A peak of 1 screw or fewer earns 3 stars, and 3 or fewer earns 2.
