How to Play
Your task is to move all the bolts so that all the slats fall down.
Just click on a bolt and move it to a free nut in the correct order to free a slat. Determine the correct order of moving.
Tips
Start by surveying the entire board before making your first move—identifying which bolts hold multiple slats is crucial for planning your sequence. Focus on freeing slats that are only held by one or two bolts first, as these create quick wins and open up space. Remember that you can only move bolts to empty nuts, so keep track of your available spots. Don't rush taking a moment to think through each move will save you from getting stuck. If a move feels wrong, it probably is—trust your instincts and reconsider your approach.
Advanced Strategies
Think several moves ahead like in chess—removing one bolt might cause a chain reaction that blocks your next planned move, so always visualize the board state two to three steps ahead. Use the empty nuts strategically as temporary holding spots for bolts sometimes moving a bolt out of the way temporarily is necessary to access a more critical bolt beneath. Pay attention to the weight distribution of slats—bolts supporting heavier or more complex arrangements should be prioritized or avoided early depending on your overall strategy.
