Water Sort Brain Puzzle

Pour colored water between test tubes until every shade sits in its own tube — sounds easy until you're three moves deep and completely stuck.

You get a rack of glass tubes filled with stacked bands of colored water. Tap one tube, tap another, and the top color pours across — but only if the receiving tube is empty or holds the same color on top, and only if there's room. That tiny rule set turns a calm sorting task into a knotty little brainteaser fast. I once spent five minutes staring at four mixed tubes, convinced I'd soft-locked myself, before noticing a two-step chain that freed everything up. The early levels lull you in with just three or four colors. Then they add a fifth, a sixth, sometimes more, and suddenly that spare empty tube becomes the most valuable thing on screen. You'll learn to reserve it like a parking spot while you shuffle layers around. Some boards punish a careless pour hard — you can't grab half a layer or undo a move unless there's a restart button waiting. I kept coming back because the failures never feel unfair, just like puzzles you haven't solved yet. Don't expect power-ups or timers. This is stripped-down logic with a soothing color palette and the gentle clink of liquid moving between tubes. It's the kind of game you open for five minutes and then realize forty have gone by.

Use the mouse to play the game.

Keep one tube empty whenever possible — it's your only real wiggle room. Scan for a color that already has a clear home and pour that first. Don't fill a tube to the brim unless you're certain the top color belongs there. When stuck, undo mentally: figure out which pour got you into trouble and restart. Work on one color at a time rather than jumping around.
