Guess the order. One stack of cans. You only see a count. Stack Sip is a portrait can-ordering puzzle from the trend you already know: rearrange beverage cans until every one sits where it belongs. You never see which cans are correct — only how many — so each move is a small guess. Drag, flick, and lift cans free. Build one clean stack. Watch the count climb. When every can is right, the stack settles and the next level opens. • Ten levels, from 3 cans to 12 • Short sessions built for focus, not grind • Portrait play for one hand and a quiet moment • Free. Offline. No accounts. No ads. Download Stack Sip and guess the order.
