What is Sort Dock

The board is a row of clear test tubes on a dock. Each tube holds zero to four layers of colored cargo. At the start of a level, cargo is mixed across the tubes with two extra empty tubes you can use as scratch space. The level is solved when every tube either contains a single full color or is empty.

Rules

  • Tap any tube to select it. The selected tube is highlighted.
  • Tap a second tube to pour from the selected tube into the target tube.
  • A pour only happens if the top color of the source matches the top color of the target, or the target is empty.
  • Pouring drains the source tube until either it is empty, the top color no longer matches, or the target is full.
  • Invalid moves are refused with a board shake and a red message.

Frequently asked questions

How many tubes are in a level?

Three-color levels use five tubes total: three mixed plus two empties. Four-color levels use six tubes total: four mixed plus two empties. Tube capacity is always four layers.

Can I pour more than one color at a time?

Yes. If the top two or three layers of a tube are the same color, they all pour together as long as the target accepts the same color and has room. The pour stops the moment the next layer is a different color.

Is there a timer?

No timer. Your score is reduced by the number of moves you make, so the goal is to solve the board in as few moves as possible without burning undos.

What if I run out of undos?

Tap New round in the toolbar to start the level over. Your best score is preserved.
