THE ART OF SORTING
Bring a little order to the colors.
Water Sort is a color-sorting puzzle. With two simple taps, bring the mixed colors together one pour at a time.
One color in every full tube
Each tube holds four layers. Matching layers at the top pour together until the destination is full. Fill each non-empty tube with just one color to win.
Leave some room to think
Keep an empty tube for temporary storage when you can. Combine matching colors to uncover the layers below. Made a wrong turn? Undo and try again.
Use a mouse or touch screen. While a pour is playing, you can select the next tube and queue its destination. With a keyboard, use Tab or the left/right arrow keys to choose a tube, Enter or Space to confirm, and Esc to cancel. Choose “Full view” to focus on the game and press Esc to leave. Enable “Color numbers” to help distinguish colors. The game respects your system’s reduced-motion setting. Undo does not refund moves, and using “Show solution” makes the current run a practice run with no stars.
Water Sort FAQ
How do I play Water Sort?
Select a tube with water, then a destination. The destination must be empty or have the same top color and room to spare. Matching layers at the top pour together until the color changes or the destination fills up. Put each color in its own full tube and leave the remaining tubes empty to win.
Why can’t I pour into a tube?
You cannot pour into a full tube or onto a different top color. Empty tubes accept any color. Select the raised tube again to cancel your selection.
What if I get stuck?
Use unlimited undo and redo, or restart the level. After each pour, the game checks the board in the background. If it confirms there is no solution, it offers undo and restart controls. A hint highlights the next move on a solution path. You can stop the solution demonstration at any time.
How do I earn three stars?
Finish in fewer moves to earn more stars. Your result appears when you finish, and the level map keeps your best score. Each valid pour counts as one move. Undo does not refund moves, and redo adds a move. Selecting tubes and invalid taps do not count. Hints do not cost stars, but using the solution demonstration makes the run a practice run with no stars. Restarting resets the move count while keeping your personal best.
