Play Water Sort

About Water Sort & how to play

Pour the colored layers between tubes until each tube holds a single, tidy color.

You get a rack of tubes filled with mixed-up layers of colored liquid. Pour the top color from one tube onto a matching color in another — or into an empty tube — until every tube is one solid color. No timer, unlimited undo: it's a calm, think-it-through puzzle where the whole trick is pouring in an order that doesn't paint you into a corner.

Pip hosts it, and every puzzle is guaranteed solvable. It's the gentle kind of brain game that quietly eats twenty minutes.

How to play Water Sort

1. Tap a tube to lift it, then tap another to pour its top color across.
2. You can only pour onto a matching top color, or into an empty tube.
3. A pour moves all the connected same-colored liquid at the top at once.
4. Keep sorting until every tube is a single color (or empty).
5. There's no clock, and you can Undo any pour, so experiment freely.

Tips & strategy

• Keep an empty tube free as a workspace. Fill everything too soon and you lose room to maneuver.
• Consolidate a color across tubes when it doesn't bury something you need underneath.
• Look before you pour — think about the color you'll expose next, not just the move in front of you.
• Don't cover a color you still need; sometimes the right play is to pour elsewhere first.
• Stuck? Undo and try a different order — every puzzle here has a way through.
