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.
Controls
Tap one glass to pour from it, then tap the glass to pour into.
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.
