Spice Sort is a calm, hand-crafted sorting puzzle. Pour ground spices between glass jars until every jar holds a single color. That's the whole game — no timers, no lives, no energy meters, no pressure. It's the sort-puzzle you've played before, with a warmer soul: a dim pantry, real glass jars, and eight richly colored spices — turmeric, paprika, basil, sumac, black pepper, cinnamon, blue butterfly pea, and pink Himalayan salt. WHY YOU'LL KEEP IT ON YOUR PHONE • 500 hand-tuned levels, each one guaranteed solvable • A new Daily Spice every day — the same puzzle for everyone, with a streak to keep • Unlimited undo and instant restart. Stuck is never a dead end. • Genuinely relaxing pour animations and soft, tactile sounds BUILT TO RESPECT YOU • No ads. Not one. • No accounts, no sign-up, nothing to buy. • Works completely offline — play on a plane, on the subway, anywhere. • Google usage analytics and crash sharing are on by default.
