How to Play
How to Play Butterfly Sort Puzzle
Step 1 — Understand the Goal
Each level starts with multiple branches holding a mix of different butterfly species. Your goal is to sort them so that every branch contains only one type of butterfly — 4 of the same kind on a single branch.
Step 2 — Select a Butterfly
Click or tap on a branch to select the butterfly sitting at the front of it. That butterfly is now ready to move.
Step 3 — Move to the Right Branch
Tap the branch where you want to send the selected butterfly. There are two rules for where a butterfly can land:
The branch must have the same butterfly species at the front, OR
The branch must be completely empty
If neither condition is met, the move is not allowed — plan carefully.
Step 4 — Fill the Branch to Clear It
Once all 4 butterflies of the same species are grouped on one branch, they automatically flutter away together and the branch is cleared. Keep sorting until all branches are cleared to complete the level.
Step 5 — Unlock New Species
Each time you clear a level featuring a butterfly type for the first time, that species is added to your personal photo album. There are 20 species to unlock in total.

Tips to Solve Levels Faster
Always prioritize freeing up an empty branch — it gives you a flexible holding spot to maneuver stuck butterflies
Work backwards from the most crowded branch to clear blockages first
Avoid moving butterflies onto a branch unless you're sure more of the same species are nearby to complete it
