Water Sort Cups: Pour Puzzle
Water Sort Cups: Pour Puzzle turns a simple concept into a brain-teasing experience. You start with several glasses filled with layers of different colored liquids, all mixed together. Your goal is to separate every shade into its own dedicated vessel. The catch? You can only pour from one cup to another if the target either is empty or holds the same color on top, and you must fit everything within the available containers. As you progress, the number of colors and cups increases, and the initial arrangements become trickier to unravel. Each move matters, since a misplaced pour can leave you stuck with no valid options. The game’s clean visuals and gentle physics make every successful separation feel rewarding. It’s a perfect pick for anyone who enjoys methodical, spatial puzzles that don’t rely on speed but on thoughtful sequencing.

What is Water Sort Cups: Pour Puzzle
Immerse yourself in a tranquil yet engaging puzzle where you must untangle mixed colors by pouring liquids between cups. Each level offers a fresh arrangement that will challenge your logical thinking.
How to Play
Tap a cup to select it, then tap another cup to pour the top layer of liquid into it. You can only pour if the receiving cup is empty or its top layer matches the color you’re moving.
Tips for Playing
- Always aim to free up at least one empty cup early to use as a temporary buffer.
- Avoid pouring a color onto a different shade unless you have a clear plan to separate them later.
- Before making a move, scan the entire board to see if a direct pour can complete a cup.
- If you get stuck, try reversing a move or restarting the level to save time.
- Prioritize sorting the colors that appear in the smallest quantities first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I can't make any more moves?
If no valid pours are possible, you'll need to restart the level or use an undo option if available. Planning ahead helps avoid this situation.

Generally, there's no limit on the number of pours, but inefficient moves can lead to dead ends. Some versions may track your moves for scoring.

You progress by completing each puzzle. Successfully sorting all colors in a level unlocks the next one, with increasing difficulty.
Are there different game modes?

What's the best strategy for beginners?
Start by focusing on emptying a single cup to create space, and always think two or three moves ahead before pouring.
