How to play

Every shelf has its own shape. Each one takes a minute or two, and there's no way to lose.

  1. 1

    Drag a book

    Drop it onto the shelf. A preview shows where it will land.

  2. 2

    Tap to turn it

    Turn a book to make it fit. Books with an arrow are too tall to turn.

  3. 3

    Fill every gap

    Pick books up again or undo any move. No timer is ticking.

  4. 4

    Watch it come alive

    When the last book slides in, the shelf glows and the room around it gets a little warmer.

A new Daily shelf arrives every day, with a streak to keep. A streak freeze covers a day you miss.
