How to play Color Sort
- Tap a tube to pick up its top balls, then tap another tube to pour them in.
- You can only pour onto a ball of the same color, or into an empty tube.
- Each tube holds 4 balls. All matching balls on top move together if there is room.
- Fill every tube with a single color to clear the level. Each level is checked by a solver, so it can always be solved.
Tips to beat your high score
- Keep at least one tube empty for as long as you can: it is your most valuable move.
- Before pouring, look one move ahead: which tube will your move unlock?
- Finish tubes that are almost complete first. A full tube is out of the way for good.
- Stuck? Use Undo or the extra tube once per level instead of restarting.

Why is Color Sort so addictive?
Sorting chaos into order is one of the most satisfying feelings in puzzle games, and it is why sort puzzles pass a billion downloads a year on mobile. Every level ends with a clean click of finished tubes, the next one is just slightly harder, and the level number keeps climbing.
Frequently asked questions
Is every level solvable?
Yes. Every level is generated and then checked by a solver before you see it, so there is always a way to finish it.
How many levels are there?
They never end. Levels are generated from their number, so level 57 is the same for you and your friends and you can compare progress.
Is this the same as Water Sort or Ball Sort?
It is the same classic sorting puzzle, played with colored balls. The rules are identical: only matching colors stack.
Can I play if I am colorblind?
Yes. Every color also carries its own symbol, so you can sort by shape instead of color.
