How to play Water Sort
Water Sort is a free pouring puzzle in the browser. Fill every tube with one color. Easy, Medium, and Hard are on the same page, plus a daily puzzle that resets at midnight Eastern Time.
Steps
- Tap a tube to pick it up. Tubes you can pour into glow.
- You can pour onto the same color, or into an empty tube, if there is room.
- A pour takes the whole top run of one color, not a single drop.
- A tube locks when it holds four layers of the same color.
- Hint shows a legal pour. Undo if a line goes dead. Daily is the same puzzle for everyone until midnight Eastern.
Tips to play better
- Keep at least one tube empty for as long as you can.
- Pour onto matching colors to finish tubes faster.
- Do not bury a single color at the bottom of a mixed tube.
- Look a few pours ahead before you fill the last empty tube.
- Use Undo to try a different order.
