Water Sort Puzzle: from controls to your first round

Water Sort Puzzle gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Make every nonempty bottle full of one colour. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Sort four colours using six bottles. Hints follow a solution from the current position.

Practice beyond the first move

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Make every nonempty bottle full of one colour. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Follow these playing steps

1. Select source then destination.
2. Pour onto the same colour or into an empty bottle.
3. Respect capacity four.
4. Undo or Hint helps.

Making selections and moves

Tap source and destination bottles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See how the rules apply

Two red units fit a red-topped bottle with two spaces. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

An important reminder

A partially filled monochrome bottle is not complete. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
