Cones: water sorting
Cones: Water Sorting invites you into a meditative puzzle experience built around a simple yet absorbing premise. Each level presents a set of conical vessels filled with mixed layers of vividly colored water. Your objective is to pour the liquid from one cone to another until every vessel holds only a single hue. The mechanics are straightforward, but the escalating complexity of the arrangements will test your planning and foresight. As you progress, the number of cones, the variety of colors, and the initial muddle of layers increase, offering a satisfying ramp-up in difficulty. The game's clean, vibrant visuals and gentle sound effects create a relaxed atmosphere that encourages thoughtful experimentation. With no time pressure and a forgiving undo option, you are free to solve each conundrum at your own pace. This is a perfect pick for puzzle lovers who enjoy logic, pattern recognition, and a splash of color.

What is Cones: water sorting
If you enjoy brain teasers that are easy to grasp but hard to put down, Cones: Water Sorting offers a fresh twist on the classic liquid sorting genre. Prepare to pour, plan, and perfect your way through hundreds of colorful challenges.
How to Play
Tap a cone to select it and see the top colored layer, then tap another cone to pour that liquid into it, provided the target's top layer matches or is empty. Your goal is to get every color completely separated into its own cone.
Tips for Playing
- Always try to empty a cone completely before using it as a temporary holding spot.
- Avoid filling a cone with a color that you'll need to move again right away; think two steps ahead.
- Use the undo button liberally to explore different move sequences without penalty.
- When stuck, focus on isolating the color that appears in the highest number of layers.
- If a level seems impossible, take a break and return with fresh eyes—it often works.
