Level 1 is three glass tubes on a dark background: two of them filled with red and green water mixed together and one standing empty. A small hand taps the empty tube to show where to start. Water Sort Puzzle is a free color sorting puzzle you play in your browser. You pour colored water from tube to tube until every tube holds a single color, using as few moves as you can.
Main Controls
- Pick a tube and pour into another: LEFT CLICK or TAP
- Hint, undo, extra tube, restart and settings: LEFT CLICK on the buttons
How It Works
Water Sort Puzzle, in the game called Sort It, keeps the rules short. Tap a tube to pick it up, then tap another tube to pour. The water only moves if the top color matches the color on top of the target tube, or if the target tube is empty, and there has to be enough room inside. A tube holds 4 portions of water, so a full tube of one color is the goal for every color on the screen. When all tubes are sorted, a Completed card shows your result and a NEXT button takes you to the next level.
Every level starts with a score at the top of the screen, and each pour takes a point away. In level 1 the score starts at 50, and solving it in 3 pours leaves 47. That turns each level into two puzzles at once: sorting the colors and finding the shortest way to do it. From level 2 the colors start to mix inside the tubes, so you have to think about which color to clear first. Three helpers wait at the bottom: a hint button with 2 uses, an undo button with 5 uses and a button that adds an extra empty tube.
- Look at the top color of every tube.
- Tap a tube to pick it up.
- Tap a tube with the same color on top, or an empty one, to pour.
- Keep going until each tube holds one color.
- Use undo if a pour leaves you stuck.
- Check your score on the Completed card.
- Press NEXT for the next level.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Simple pour rule: Water only lands on the same color or in an empty tube.
- Move based score: Every pour costs a point, so short solutions score higher.
- Undo button: 5 undos let you take back a bad pour.
- Hints: 2 hints help out when a level has you stuck.
- Extra tube: A spare empty tube can open up a crowded level.
- Quick restart: The restart button resets the level at any time.
Getting Started
- Use the empty tube wisely in Water Sort Puzzle. It is the most valuable space on the screen.
- Finish one color at a time. Finishing a single color early often opens the rest of the level.
- Count the room before you pour. Water only moves when the target tube has space for it.
- Save the hints. The early levels are easy to solve on your own.
Going Further
Water Sort Puzzle rewards planning a few pours ahead. Before you touch a tube, look for the color that is closest to being finished and work out how to bring its pieces together. Moving a color into the empty tube is powerful, but it also takes away your spare space, so it is worth doing only when you know where the next pour goes. Since every pour lowers the score, the best runs avoid moving the same water back and forth. If a level gets tangled, a restart is often faster than a long chain of undos.
Mistakes Worth Avoiding
- Filling the empty tube too early. Without spare space, a level can lock up quickly.
- Pouring without a target. Each extra pour costs a point.
- Ignoring tube space. A tube with 4 portions cannot take any more water.
- Using every undo at once. Keep a few for the harder levels.
