Overview
MarketSort is stall tidy-up turned into puzzle craft. Imagine aisles and stacks; your job is to open a path, finish a display, and let flow replace clutter. The first smart move is finishing one near-complete stack early, because a completed display opens an aisle the entire board can use. Then unmix with a buffer so awkward lifts have somewhere safe to land. Look-alikes should wait until noise drops—solve distinct items first so similar tones sort cleanly later. Protect flow over cosmetics; avoid moves that make the stall look better without increasing freedom. The rhythm is aisle-first, finish, then refine. When the market clogs, ask whether one completion would convert congestion into space. Often the answer is yes, and the moment you commit, sequence length grows and your route becomes obvious. Visual clarity matters, so read tops like labels and prioritize high-contrast stacks before subtler shades. The pleasure is pragmatic—solves feel like smart retail: you don’t fuss with shelves, you open the floor. By the time the last items snap into place, the stall looks curated, not crowded, and you can see exactly how each decision improved flow.
