Liquids Sort Puzzle

Liquids Sort Puzzle fills its shelves with colourful concoctions. Flasks, jugs and test tubes hold liquids in varying proportions, some bubbling, some iridescent, and the task is to bring order to the mixture by collecting liquids of different colours and properties into different containers. It looks like a laboratory and plays like a sorting puzzle.

The appeal of this kind of game is the satisfaction of a tidy result. Each container should end up holding one kind of liquid, and getting there means thinking several moves ahead, because a careless move can leave the wrong colour in the way. The description sells it as a test of attention and reasoning, and as meditative rather than frantic.

There are many levels of increasing difficulty, plus bonus tasks to take on alongside the main puzzles. That gives the game a long path to follow, with each level a calm, self-contained problem that suits a short break as well as a longer session.

1. Look at the liquids in each flask, jug and tube.
2. Decide which container should collect each colour.
3. Move liquids between containers to sort them.
4. Finish when every container holds a single kind of liquid.

Keep one container as empty as you can for as long as you can. A free vessel is the most flexible move you have.
