Do all three daily games change at the same time?

Yes. Daily Water Sort, Daily Ball Sort, and Daily Stack Sort use the UTC date. A new puzzle is selected at 00:00 UTC.

Is Water Sort the same as Ball Sort?

No. Water Sort can pour a connected group of matching top liquid layers. Ball Sort moves exactly one exposed top ball per move.

Which daily sorting game is best for a beginner?

Start with the rule that feels easiest to see. Choose Water Sort for pouring, Ball Sort for one-ball moves, or Stack Sort if you like following a tile around the board.

Can I use a solver for the daily games?

The site has separate Water Sort and Ball Sort solvers. Daily Stack Sort does not use a solver in the current version.

Can I play an older daily puzzle?

Yes. Each game has its own archive with recent challenges. Your saved results are kept separately for Water, Ball, and Stack Sort on the same device.

Does Daily Stack Sort have hidden colors?

Yes. A question tile keeps its color hidden while it is in a column. Its real color appears when that tile reaches your hand.

Which Daily Sorting Game Should You Play?

SortingGames.io has three daily sorting games. They all ask you to put colors in order, but the move you make is different in each one. Water Sort pours liquid, Ball Sort moves one ball, and Stack Sort sends a hand tile through a column.

Quick answer

Pick the move that makes sense to you

Choose Daily Water Sort if you like pouring matching liquid. Choose Daily Ball Sort if you want to move one clear object at a time. Choose Daily Stack Sort if you enjoy revealing hidden colors and watching one tile travel through a column.

There is no single “best” game. The right choice is the rule you feel like playing today.

Daily Water Sort: Make Room for a Pour

Water Sort uses bottles filled with flat color layers. You choose a source bottle, then a target bottle. The target must be empty or have the same color on top, and it must have enough open space.

The important detail is that one pour can move more than one layer. If two blue layers touch at the top, both can pour together when the target has room. That makes open bottle space just as important as the color you can see.

Good fit if: you like making space, joining color groups, and seeing one pour clean up several layers. For more help, read the Water Sort strategy guide.

Daily Ball Sort: Think One Ball Ahead

Ball Sort looks close to Water Sort, but every ball is separate. You can move only the exposed top ball. The next tube must be empty or show the same color on top, and each tube holds four balls.

Two matching balls do not travel as a pair. Move the first ball, check what is now on top, and then decide whether the second move is still useful. The Water Sort vs Ball Sort guide shows this difference with the same starting layout.

Good fit if: you prefer small, exact moves and like planning which ball will appear next. The Ball Sort Solver guide explains the separate solver when you need it.

Daily Stack Sort: Follow the Tile in Your Hand

Stack Sort does not use bottles or tubes. Choose an active column and your hand tile enters at the top. The whole column moves down by one place, and its bottom tile becomes your new hand.

A question tile shows its real color only after it comes out of a column. A full column of one visible color locks and cannot be used again. You win after every column is complete and the rainbow tile is in your hand.

Good fit if: you enjoy uncovering information as you play. See the Daily Stack Sort guide for a move-by-move picture.

What All Three Daily Puzzles Share

One board for the day

The UTC date chooses the puzzle. Refreshing the page does not give you a different board.

Your progress stays separate

Water, Ball, and Stack Sort keep their own progress and best result in this browser.

Older puzzles stay playable

Open the matching archive when you want another board after finishing today’s game.

All three pages include a move count, a timer, restart, undo, and sharing. Their help buttons are not the same: Water and Ball have hints and a solution view, while Stack Sort asks you to work without those two buttons.

Which Daily Sorting Game Should You Start With?

I want a familiar puzzle

Start with Water Sort

The pouring rule is easy to see, and a connected color group can move in one action.

Play Daily Water Sort

I want exact moves

Start with Ball Sort

Every move handles one ball, so you can pause and read the board after each step.

Play Daily Ball Sort

I want something different

Start with Stack Sort

The hand tile and hidden question tiles make the board change in a different way.

Play Daily Stack Sort

Difficulty changes with the day’s board. A Water puzzle is not always easier than a Ball or Stack puzzle, so it is fine to choose by mood instead of by the difficulty label.
