Starry Sips: Water Sort

About the game

Starry Sips: Water Sort is a cozy color-sorting puzzle set in a starlit garden. Every glass holds four layers, and once all four match, it blooms into a garnished drink such as Sunset Citrus or Berry Bloom. Ten gentle starter boards lead into endless generated rounds that grow from six glasses to ten, with no timer, no lives and free undo, restarts and hints.

Game features

• Ten named starter boards, from First Sip to Garden Party, build up from two colors to four before the endless rounds begin
• Endless generated rounds grow from six glasses to eight at round 21 and ten at round 41, always with two empty glasses to work with
• Four drinks to mix — Sunset Citrus, Berry Bloom, Mint Moonlight and Strawberry Kiss — each blooming into a garnished cocktail when a glass fills with it
• Every board has a stored solution: starter boards come with one, and generated rounds are scrambled backwards from a finished table
• Undo up to 100 pours, restart the same board or ask for a hint as often as you like, with no timer, lives or move limit
• Hint marks the next pour on the table, or tells you when the current position has no way forward
• The board, move count and undo history save after every pour, so a reload picks up exactly where you stopped

How to play

Click or tap a glass to lift it, then pick the glass you want to pour into. The target has to be empty, or its top layer must match the color you are pouring and still have space; the whole run of that color moves over, as much as fits. Each glass holds four layers, and a glass of one color blooms into a finished drink. Finish every drink on the table and the next round loads by itself after a short celebration. Undo steps back one pour, Restart deals the same board again, and Hint marks a suggested move. To use the keyboard, click the game once, then press the number shown under each glass.

Tips & strategies

1. 1.Guard the two empty glasses. Every round starts with exactly two, and they are your only parking space for layers with no matching top, so fill one only when the pour frees a buried color or finishes a drink
2. 2.When a matching top has room for the whole run, pour there instead of into an empty glass: the run joins its color and the empty glass stays free
3. 3.Check the space before you pour. Only as many layers as fit will move, and the rest of the run stays behind, splitting a color you had just gathered
4. 4.From round 21, count drinks rather than colors. The progress line asks for six or eight drinks from only four colors, so some colors need two glasses: fill one to four layers, then start the second
5. 5.Treat Hint as a dead-end check. When it tells you to undo or restart, no solution remains from that position, so back up with Undo instead of pouring on
6. 6.Restart deals the same board again, so a failed attempt still teaches you which glasses to clear first on the replay
