A row of glass tubes sits in front of you, each one striped with layers of colored liquid. Your job sounds simple: get every color into a tube of its own. Color Pour Sort unblocked turns that into a steady puzzle that keeps going as long as you do, since the levels are numbered and never run out.
The twist here is that layers are not all the same size. A thick band of blue may not fit in the gap above another blue, so you have to watch the free space, not just the colors.
How to play Color Pour Sort
Pick a tube and it rises a little to show it is selected. Then pick the tube you want to pour into. Only the top layer moves, and it can land in an empty tube or on top of the same color. Mixed colors are refused, and so is a tube that is already full.
When a pour is too big for the target, the target fills up and the remainder stays where it was. A tube filled to the rim with one color gets a black cap and locks. Once every tube is capped or empty, the level is solved and the next one appears.
Early levels use only a couple of colors. Higher numbers add more colors and more tubes, with thinner layers to juggle. The menu holds dark mode, a smaller tube size, pour animation speed, a choice of level generators and a box for jumping to any level number.

Tips
- Measure before you pour. Compare the height of the top layer with the gap in the target. A partial pour can leave a thin leftover that buries a useful color.
- Treat an empty tube like gold. It is the only place an orphan color can wait, so fill it last, not first.
- Finish one tube at a time. Capping a tube takes it out of play and shrinks the problem you have to hold in your head.
- Experiment with undo. Pours can be taken back one by one, so you can test a sequence and rewind if it dead-ends.
- Restart, then restart again. If you reset a level by mistake, pressing restart a second time before pouring brings your earlier tubes back.
Color Pour Sort questions
Is my progress saved?
Yes. Your current level number and the state of the tubes after your last pour are stored in your browser. Come back on the same device and browser and you continue where you stopped.
Can I replay a level I liked?
Open the menu and type a level number into the level box. With the same generator selected, a number always builds the same layout.
Why can't I select one of the tubes?
It is probably capped. A tube full of a single color gets a black lid and is finished, so it can no longer be poured from or into.
