Color Water Puzzle
Coloured water poured between glasses until each holds a single colour.
Glasses hold layers of coloured water, and pouring moves the top layer from one glass to another — but only onto matching colour or into an empty glass.
Although it looks like the tube boards elsewhere on this site, the liquid framing adds a rule worth knowing: pouring moves every consecutive layer of the same colour at once, not just one. That makes a glass with three reds on top a far more powerful move than a glass with one, and planning around it is the difference between clearing a level and locking it.
There is no timer and no penalty for restarting, which suits a board whose whole difficulty is committing the free glass to the wrong colour.

How to Play
- Look for a glass whose top layers are all one colour.
- Pour it onto a matching colour or into an empty glass.
- Keep at least one glass empty for manoeuvring.
- Finish with every colour in a glass of its own.
Tips & Tricks
Pour the deepest matching stack you can. Moving three layers in one action is worth far more than moving one, and the board rarely gives you a second chance at it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much liquid moves in one pour?
Every consecutive layer of the same colour at the top of the glass, which is why a deep matching stack is the strongest move available.
What locks a level?
Filling your only empty glass with a colour that has nowhere to go. Keeping one free is the whole discipline of the format.
