About Water Sort

Water Sort is a sorting puzzle: several bottles hold mixed colored water, and you pour between them until each bottle contains one color. Every bottle has a fixed capacity and only the top run of one color can be moved. It starts with three colors and adds more as stages go up; from stage 30 some cells are hidden behind a ? until they reach the top, and every stage is verified to be solvable. Rounds are short, and the fun is planning which bottle to empty first.

How to play

1. Tap a bottle once to pick it; it lifts up. Tap another bottle and the top run of the same color is poured into it.
2. You can pour only into an empty bottle or onto a bottle whose top color matches. If the target has too little room, only what fits is moved.
3. The stage is cleared when every bottle is empty or full of one color. You begin with two empty bottles.
4. There are Undo and Restart buttons (an undo also counts as a move), and Hint shows the next move toward a solution.
5. Stars depend on hints: no hints is 3 stars, up to two hints 2 stars, more than that 1 star. Clearing a stage unlocks the next, and your progress is saved on this device.

Tips

• Save your empty bottles. Pouring a random color into one leaves you with nowhere to move things later.
• Build on the color already at the bottom of a bottle; collecting that color there finishes a bottle quickly.
• If you feel stuck, undo a few moves. It is often faster than restarting.
• When several of the same color sit together on top, they move in one pour, so look for those bottles first.
