Phones and computers

Larder Three is a shelf sort puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.

You move pantry items between shelves; three of a kind on one shelf vanish and the hidden row behind slides forward. Moves are limited, and you get one peek at the back rows per larder. Running out of moves or shelf space loses the larder, and larders gain shelves and deeper rows as you clear them.

Tips

An empty front row pulls the row behind forward, and a row that arrives as three of a kind clears by itself, so emptying a shelf can beat a match.
The peek shows every back row for 2.2 seconds, once per larder; spend it when two shelves could be emptied and you need to know which row comes forward.
Stars come from moves to spare: three need at least half of par left over, two need a fifth, so a larder cleared on the last move earns one star.

How many moves do I get in Larder Three?

The budget is one and a half times par plus four, where par is the shortest of twelve greedy solves of that deal, so every larder can be done inside the limit. Running out of moves, or filling every front shelf so nothing can move, loses the larder and deals a fresh one at the same number.

How do larders get harder?

Shelves rise from five to nine, the hidden depth behind each shelf from one row to three, and the kinds of food from four to fourteen. Free slots shrink from about one per shelf to four in total. Deals that would need more than three moves per triple are thrown out, so the budget stays fair.
