Sort the colors. Clear the bottles. Relax. No account. No sign-up. No email. No ads. Open it and pour. Water Sort is a pure color-sorting puzzle - pour liquid between bottles until each one holds a single solid color. Oddly satisfying, genuinely tricky to master. HOW IT PLAYS - Tap a bottle to lift its top color, then tap another to pour it in - You can only pour onto an empty bottle, or one whose top color matches - Plan a few moves ahead - one careless pour can lock the whole board - Undo any move, restart instantly, or take a hint when you are stuck 99 HAND-CRAFTED LEVELS - A real difficulty curve - from a two-bottle warm-up to boards with mystery fog and fully wrapped bottles - Star ratings based on how efficiently you solve each one - Leave mid-puzzle and come back later - your board is exactly as you left it NEVER AN IMPOSSIBLE BOARD Every level is checked by a solver before it ships. If you are stuck, there is always a way through. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - No ads. Not a single one. - No subscription, no energy timers, no lives to wait for - Works offline BUILT BY ONE PERSON I built Water Sort for myself, in a year when AI finally made something like this achievable alone โ€” then kept building whatever people asked for. No team, no investors, and no roadmap written by anyone but the people using it. And no subscription: a puzzle you love shouldn't cost a monthly fee. TELL ME WHAT TO BUILD See something in another puzzle game that you wish this one had? Email mark@vibecode.review. I read every message and I build what people actually ask for โ€” that is how most of this app got here. Quiet, complete, and yours. Just you and the bottles.
