Why can't I tap some screws?

A plate lies over them. Remove all the screws from that plate first so it drops.

How many screws fit in a box?

Three. Two boxes are open at a time, and a full box leaves and is replaced by the next one.

Yes, one plate arrangement per day, the same for everyone. Numbered levels are available too.

Metal plates are stacked and held by coloured screws. Unscrew the free ones into matching boxes, drop the plates, and find the screws underneath.

A real run of the game, recorded with captions and no sound.

Tap a bright screw that no plate covers. It goes into the open box of its colour. There are two open boxes, each needing three screws.
If no open box wants it, the screw waits in one of four holding places. Held screws drop into a box as soon as one of their colour opens.
A plate falls away when its last screw is out, which frees the screws that were underneath it.
Remove every screw to win. If the holding places are full and every free screw is the wrong colour, the job jams.

Prefer screws that finish a plate. Each plate that falls opens new choices.
Look at the boxes waiting behind the open pair so your held screws are the ones that box will want next.
Do not hold a colour whose boxes are far down the line unless you have to.
Faint screws are covered. They show you what is coming, but you cannot tap them yet.
