What is Liquid Sort

Dive into the mesmerizing world of Liquid Sort, a puzzle game that combines strategy and color matching in a deceptively simple way. Pour, plan, and perfect your way to a fully sorted set of tubes.

How to Play

Tap or click on a tube to select it, then tap or click on another tube to pour the liquid. You can only pour into a tube if its top layer is the same color or if the target tube is empty, and the tube must have enough space to hold the liquid.

Tips for Playing

Always keep at least one empty tube available for flexibility.
Avoid pouring a color onto a different color unless you have a plan to separate them later.
Work from the bottom up; try to empty tubes that contain the fewest distinct colors first.
If you get stuck, don't hesitate to undo moves and re-evaluate your strategy.
Use the shuffle feature only as a last resort, as it can disrupt a nearly solved setup.
