What is Water Sort?

Water Sort asks you to separate mixed liquids into bottles of a single color. Tap a source bottle and a destination: a pour works when the destination is empty or its top color matches, and it has enough room. Each bottle holds four units. The campaign has 120 authored levels across six chapters. Later puzzles introduce hidden colors, ice locks and bottles restricted to a particular color, so a move that seems obvious may block the next one. Undo, a hint, a shuffle for a mixed bottle and one extra empty bottle can help when a layout becomes difficult.

Make a legal pour

  1. Select the bottle you want to pour from, then tap an empty bottle or one whose top color matches.
  2. Only the contiguous top group moves, limited by available space. A completed single-color bottle is no longer a source.
  3. Keep an empty bottle as a working space when possible. Finish sorting every bottle to complete the level.

When the board gets stuck

  • Use Undo to reverse a recent pour. Hint can show a useful move or rewind to an earlier solvable position.
  • The extra-bottle tool adds one empty bottle per level. Shuffle targets a mixed bottle and tries to preserve a solvable board.
  • Later chapter rules matter: frozen and color-restricted bottles cannot always accept an otherwise matching pour.

Water Sort FAQ

How much can a bottle hold?

Four units of liquid.

Can I pour onto a different color?

Only into an empty bottle or onto the same top color, subject to special level rules.

What does Hint do if I made a bad move?

It may rewind to a previous solvable state and point to a next move; if no solution is found, it suggests a fresh start.

Do the chapters change the rules?

Yes. Later chapters introduce mystery colors, frozen bottles and color-restricted bottles.

Can I add several empty bottles?

The extra-bottle tool adds at most one per level.
