Orderganize
Swap adjacent cells until the grid is orderganized, starting from the cell of your choice. Once a starting cell is chosen, it will remain the one swapping. Orderganized means the grid is arranged so that every cell is within a row or column of three of the same or more.
Instructions
- Choose your starting cell. Some grids cannot be solved starting from certain cells, so choose wisely!
- Swap with any adjacent cell.
- Continue swapping from where you left off, until the grid is orderganized.
- Use the gear button to start over or to choose a different starting cell.
- Empty cells cannot be swapped, they always remain in the same spot.
- Orderganize all 9 grids and post your move count!
What does it mean to be orderganized?

Dang it... this is super cool and annoyingly hard (annoying because it seems simple, but is not, and I struggle). I've not beaten all 9 but I am playing.
(If there were ever time, I would love the "you beat the puzzle" screen to hold for a moment and say I beat it or glow or something so I can enjoy my small victory :D Also maybe "level number" on screen so I know what puzzle I'm on. I realize it's for a jam, just saying a future thing!)
Congrats, it's good!
Thanks for playing and appreciate the feedback! The jam was down to the wire 😅 I might do a quick post jam update to add some essentials.
I noticed some nice changes! Very cool. Hey, I made it to probably level 9... it has 4 orange, 4 green and 3 purple. I have them all lined up pretty well... I think as a game... I don't understand the way I am actually "organizing". I don't understand the rules and I don't understand the goal (lol).
If that is part of the game (and I don't mind if it is meant to be confusing, for real!) then that's fine. But if you want to explain it better, then I would love to know it.
BUT if it's going to ruin the artistic expression (I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being serious) then don't tell me or anyone!
I don't mind cool mysteries existing for smarter people to solve.
More good feedback! That's level 8 but you're almost there. Organized means "within a row or column of three of the same or more". The idea is if it were a classic match-3 then all the pieces would be part of a combo. Maybe this is the difference between orderganized and organized. If you satisfy that condition and it's still stuck then it's a bug. For now I can put a graphic on the page, but I want to make it clear in the game.
Oh man the picture explaining things is a life saver! It really helped to make it click. I made it to level 9!
I have ONE other thought (currently).
A small/medium dot on top of the active piece would do wonders for helping understand, like in a view/snapshot in my mind, what I'm doing and where I'm trying to go. That's my last my last thought! Also congrats again on the game, and good luck in the jam (if they are being judged).
Thanks again for the great feedback! There was a subtle indicator for the active piece, but I just added a blinking effect to make it clearer.
