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.

Pour, sort, and cast a little magic. Sortcery is a relaxing water sort puzzle with a magical twist. Pour colored water between bottles until every bottle holds a single color. It takes one finger to play and a moment to learn — but the further you go, the more your planning matters. THE GRAVITY SPELL Sortcery's signature move. On special spell levels, you can flip the liquid in every bottle upside down — once per level. Colors buried at the bottom rise to the top, and choosing WHEN to cast becomes part of the puzzle itself. FEATURES • Endless levels that grow steadily more challenging — every single one is generated to be solvable • The Gravity Spell: a one-time, board-wide flip that rewards clever timing • Undo your last pour, restart anytime, or use a hint when you're truly stuck • Unlock new bottle shapes as you progress: slim vials, flasks, jars, boots and bathtubs • Calm pacing with soothing sounds and satisfying pours — no timers, no move limits, no pressure • Play in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Simplified Chinese • Designed with VoiceOver and accessibility in mind HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap a bottle to pick it up 2. Tap another bottle to pour — matching colors on top can be poured together 3. Sort every color into its own bottle to clear the level Whether you have thirty seconds or thirty minutes, Sortcery is an easy place to unwind. Pick a bottle, pour, and let the colors fall into place.
