About Color Sort

Color Sort is a soothing pour-puzzle that has become a favourite worldwide. A set of tubes is filled with a jumble of coloured balls, and your goal is to sort them so that each tube holds only one colour. You can only move a ball onto an empty tube or onto a matching colour.

Despite its calm look, Color Sort is a real logic puzzle. Every pour changes what is possible next, and a careless move can lock the board. The best players keep at least one tube free as workspace and untangle the colours step by step. It is the perfect quiet puzzle for winding down.

— Strategy & tips

How to win

Always keep one tube empty as working space.
Pour onto matching colours before using an empty tube.
Empty a tube fully when you can — it frees up big moves.
Plan two or three pours ahead to avoid dead ends.
If you get stuck, restart early rather than forcing bad moves.
