Color Sands: Sand Sort Puzzle

Color Sands is a relaxing sand sort puzzle: pick a glass, send its colored sand streaming into another, and keep going until every glass holds a single color. If you have played water sort or ball sort puzzles, you already know the rules.

REAL FLOWING SAND

Every move sends a stream of sand across the board. It falls, piles up and settles grain by grain, and the colors layer together as they land. Where water sort fills a tube evenly, sand drifts and builds up in slopes. It is the part players replay just to watch.

PICK YOUR CHALLENGE, SET YOUR PACE

No timers. No lives. No energy bars. No limit on attempts. Play one level on a coffee break or a hundred on the couch.

The difficulty is yours to set too. Dial it down for easy, breezy levels to unwind and switch off, or up for tighter puzzles that make you think. Change your mind whenever you like.

UNLIMITED SAND SORT PUZZLES, ALL SOLVABLE

A never-ending supply of fresh levels, laid out along a map you make your way through. Each one is verified by our own solver before it ever reaches you, so every single level can be completed. No dead ends, no getting stuck for good. We take care with the colors too, keeping hard-to-tell-apart shades off the same level wherever we can.

Helpers are there if you want them: undo a move, add an empty glass, or reveal a winning move. But no level ever requires one.

MAKE IT YOURS

Prefer the classic? Switch to ball sort and play the very same color sort puzzles with colored balls instead of sand. Same levels, same progress, swap back any time.

Light and dark themes that can follow your system. Five animation speeds, from slow and hypnotic to instant. Separate sliders for music, sound and vibration, right down to off.

You can even set how fine the sand is, anywhere from soft powder to grains so chunky that it stops being sand at all and quietly turns into a rock sort puzzle. We were not planning that one. We kept it anyway.
