How to play Sort the 16
Sort the 16 is a daily Counter-Strike puzzle: 16 pro players hide 4 groups of 4 that share something, like a team, a country, a role or an achievement. Everyone gets the same puzzle, and a new one arrives at midnight Brasília time (UTC−3).
- Tap 4 players you think form a group and press Submit.
- Right? The group shows up with what they share. Groups go from easiest (yellow) to hardest (purple).
- Wrong? You lose one of your 4 lives. If 3 of the 4 are in the same group, the game tells you.
- Each player fits only one group: the solution is unique. Use Shuffle to see the names in a new order.
