Pour a little color. Make a little order. Decant is a color-sort puzzle with luminous glass vessels and a simple goal: leave each filled vessel with just one color. Tap a vessel, choose a matching color or an empty space, and pour the top group. Two spare vessels give you room to think—not a shortcut to buy. NO ADS. ROOM TO PLAY. - 180 puzzles across four difficulty levels, each checked for a solution. - A fresh, always-free Daily, with the same ranked board and rules for everyone. - Practice puzzles generated and checked before you play. - Satisfying glass pours—or instant pours when you prefer to skip the animation. - Liquid symbols, a high-contrast palette, and sound, haptic, handedness, and motion controls. - Free restarts. No lives, energy, timers, or extra vessels for sale. Find a solution, then try to make it cleaner. A Perfect clear uses the fewest possible pours. Older archived Daily puzzles may show a Target instead; that is a reference solution, not a promise of the minimum. START FREE. UNLOCK MORE IF YOU LIKE. The first 30 puzzles, today's Daily, and three practice puzzles per day are free, with three undos per board. The Daily does not count against your practice allowance. A one-time Decant Full Game Unlock opens all 180 puzzles, unlimited practice and undos outside the ranked Daily, the full Daily archive for unranked practice, and advanced records. Or choose the StackForge Play Pass for Pro access across StackForge games and One Good Thing. Prices are shown before purchase. Play Pass subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled. Today's ranked Daily gives every player the same three undos, whether free or Pro. No ads in either tier. Optional account sync keeps your progress and Play Pass connected.
