Sort the colors. Clear your mind. Water Sort is a calm color sort puzzle. Pour liquid between glass tubes until every tube holds a single color: tap a tube to lift the color sitting on top, tap another tube to pour it in. Easy to learn in seconds, genuinely tricky once twelve colors are on the board. HOW IT PLAYS - Tap a tube to pick up the color on top - Tap a second tube to pour, which works only if that tube is empty or already shows the same color - Clear the level when every color sits in a tube of its own - Stuck? Undo a pour, take a hint, or open up the board with an extra tube WHAT IS INSIDE - 200+ levels that grow from relaxing to brain-bending, with fresh ones always ready beyond that - A Daily Challenge with a streak worth keeping, separate from the level ladder - Fully offline: solve on a plane, on the subway, anywhere with no signal - 5 undos and 3 hints on every level - Dead-end detection tells you the moment a restart is faster than another pour - 10 color-liquid skins that reskin the whole board, unlocked by clearing levels - Soft water sounds and gentle haptics on every pour, both switchable off EVERY LEVEL IS SOLVABLE, AND THAT IS CHECKED Every level is run through an in-app solver before you ever see it. A shuffle that cannot be solved is thrown out and generated again, never shipped to you. If you do pour yourself into a corner, the game says so with a clear banner instead of letting you struggle in silence. 10 SKINS TO UNLOCK Spa, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Berry, Candy, Royal, Mono, Lagoon and Sand. Each one reskins the tubes, the background and every color on the board, and each is earned by clearing levels rather than bought. ONE PURCHASE, NO MORE ADS Water Sort is free with ads: a banner on the menu and in a level, plus an occasional interstitial between levels. A single Remove Ads purchase takes both away for good on this device. There is no subscription and nothing else to buy. Rewarded video for an undo refill or an extra tube stays available afterward, entirely by choice. CALM, NOT COMPETITIVE No timer counting down, no lives to lose, no way to fail a level permanently. A wedged board is always one restart from a fresh, solvable shuffle. This is a sort puzzle for winding down, not for chasing a leaderboard. Play in 33 languages, picked from the in-app menu independently of your device language. Your progress stays on your device.
