About Orchard Orders

Orchard Orders is a scheduling puzzle with one picker and eight orders. Every order takes a number of ticks to pick and carries a due tick, and the single picker can only work the front of the queue. Nothing about the work changes; the whole game is the order you put it in.

That makes it a queue-editing game rather than a speed game: tapping a waiting card moves it to the front, so a long order can be parked behind two quick ones without stopping the picker. The score pays 20 for an order finished by its due tick and 5 for one that runs late.
