Colour Sort Puzzle

Ball Sort

Pick up. Pour. Sort every colour.

Every tube holds a jumble of coloured balls. Tap a tube to lift the ball on top, tap another to pour it in, and keep going until every tube holds a single colour. Easy to start, with plenty to think about once special balls and tricky tubes arrive.

How to play

One simple move, repeated with care. The trick is keeping a tube free for when you need it.

  1. Pick up a ball

    Tap a tube to lift the ball on top.

  2. Pour it

    Tap another tube to drop it in: onto a ball of the same colour, or into an empty tube.

  3. Sort every colour

    The board is solved when every tube holds four balls of a single colour.

  4. Plan ahead

    Spare room runs out fast. Undo a slip, ask for a hint, or watch a short video for an extra tube.

A calm colour puzzle

No timers, no account to make, and a hint whenever a board has you stuck.

  • Smooth pours

    Balls of the same colour on top pour across together in one move, and every ball arches over and settles into place.

  • Special balls and tubes

    Rainbow balls match any colour, frozen balls wait to thaw, magnets pull a match across. Sealed, mirror and locked tubes change the rules too.

  • A hint when you need it

    Stuck? A hint lights up a good next move, and undo takes back a slip.

  • A fresh Daily

    A new Daily puzzle every day, with a streak worth keeping.

  • Stars and awards

    Sort a board in fewer moves for three stars, and collect all 15 awards. Stars unlock new ball styles too.

  • Easy on every eye

    Colour-blind mode puts a distinct shape on every ball, and a reduce-motion switch keeps the screen calm.

Pick up and pour

Lift a ball and it floats above its tube. Tap where it should go and it arches across. When a few balls of the same colour sit on top, they pour together in one smooth move.

Every finished tube gets a tick, so you always see how close you are.

Special balls to master

Gentle boards come first. Then new pieces join in, each with one simple rule to learn.

  • Rainbow balls match any colour, and two-colour balls count as either
  • Frozen balls thaw once the ball above them moves
  • Mystery balls show their colour once they land on a match, or when a crystal ball reveals them all
  • Magnets pull a matching ball across from another tube
  • Sealed tubes take one colour only, and locked tubes open when a neighbour is sorted
