About Sort Parking
Sort Parking is an arcade-style parking puzzle where you organize colorful cars and guide each one into its matching parking bay. Cars leave through a shared route, but only the front car in each lane can move, so the order of your moves matters. Clear the parking lot while using as few moves as possible to earn a higher score and more stars.
The primary objective is to park every vehicle in its matching colored bay.
To do this, you must:
- Select a vehicle that is currently at the front of its lane.
- Send it through the available route to its matching colored bay.
- Avoid obstacles blocking the route.
- Continue clearing lanes until every vehicle is parked.
Completing the level with an efficient number of moves contributes to the three-star rating.
Sort Parking turns a crowded parking lot into a color-matching logic puzzle. Each level places colorful vehicles in several lanes, with a matching set of parking bays at the other end of the lot. Your task is to determine which car should leave first and guide it to the correct bay.
The key mechanic is lane order: only the front vehicle in a lane can exit. When that car reaches its matching bay, the vehicles behind it automatically roll forward, changing which car is available next. You therefore need to plan several moves ahead rather than simply matching the nearest color.
Select a vehicle by clicking or tapping it, then select its matching colored bay. The route is shown while a vehicle is selected. Cones and bollards can block certain routes, so a seemingly available move may not be possible yet. If you make a mistake, the undo control lets you reverse the previous move, while hint can identify a useful next vehicle.
The game contains 100 levels, with increasingly dense parking arrangements and additional obstacles. You can also explore the puzzle games section for other logic-based browser challenges or arcade games for more quick-play experiences.
How to Play
- Start or continue a level. Use the main menu's Continue/Start button or open Levels and select an unlocked level.
- Read the parking lot. Identify each vehicle's color and its matching colored parking bay.
- Check the lane order. Only the front car in a lane can leave. Cars behind it must wait.
- Select a vehicle. Click or tap a vehicle at the front of its lane.
- Choose its matching bay. Click or tap the corresponding colored destination.
- Watch for obstacles. A cone or bollard can make a route unavailable.
- Plan the next move. Once a car parks, the remaining cars in that lane shift forward.
- Use the available tools when needed. Undo reverses a previous move, Hint highlights a suggested vehicle, and Restart resets the current level.
- Clear every vehicle. The level is completed once all vehicles have reached their parking bays.
- Aim for efficiency. Your move count affects the score and star rating.
Winning & Losing Conditions
Winning Condition
A level is completed when every vehicle is parked in its matching colored bay.
The game awards between one and three stars based on move efficiency and whether a hint was used.
Losing Condition
There is no traditional game-over or life system. An incorrect selection does not end the level; the game instead prevents invalid moves, such as selecting a blocked vehicle or sending a car to the wrong bay.
If you make a valid move that you later regret, you can use Undo or Restart.

Tips & Strategies
- Always inspect the front cars first. A vehicle behind another car cannot leave, so the visible color match is not enough to determine the correct next move.
- Plan around lane shifts. Parking the front car moves the remaining cars forward, potentially exposing a vehicle that was previously inaccessible.
- Check the route before committing. Some paths are blocked by cones or bollards, so a matching bay may still be unavailable for that vehicle at the current moment.
- Avoid unnecessary moves. Each successful parking move increases the score by an amount that decreases as the move count rises.
- Use Undo instead of restarting for a single mistake. Undo preserves the rest of your current solution attempt and reverses the previous move.
- Use Hint selectively. A hint identifies a suggested front vehicle, but using a hint can reduce the maximum star rating available for that completion.
