How it plays
What is a water sort puzzle?
A water sort puzzle, also called colour sort or bottle pour, is a logic game played with glass tubes of coloured liquid. The colours start mixed in layers, and you pour from one tube to another until every tube holds a single colour. You can only pour onto the same colour or into an empty tube, and only where there's room, so the order of your pours matters. Tint Lab is a water sort puzzle for iPhone and Android: 200 levels in 10 chapters, a new daily puzzle, quick play that never makes you wait, and English and Arabic.
Tap, tap, pour.
Pick a tube
Tap a tube and it lifts. Tap a second tube and the top colour pours across.
Same colour only
Pour onto a matching colour or into an empty tube, and only where there's room.
One colour per tube
A full tube of one colour gets a cork. Cork every colour to clear the level.
Three tips to start
- Keep an empty tube free. It's your workspace; fill it last.
- Look a few pours ahead. Uncover the colour you need before you start moving others.
- Undo is free. Three undos per level, a free hint, and an extra empty tube if you're really stuck.
Features

Questions about Tint Lab
Is Tint Lab free?
Yes. Every level and the daily challenge are free, supported by ads that never appear while you play. Two optional one-time purchases are available: Remove ads and Premium. There's no subscription.
What's the difference between Remove ads and Premium?
Remove ads takes away the Home banner and the ads between levels.
Premium does the same, and adds unlimited undo and every bottle and background theme. If you buy Premium you don't need Remove ads.
How do I restore my purchase on a new phone?
Open Tint Lab, tap the gear on Home for Settings, then Purchases → Restore purchases. Use the same Apple Account (iPhone) or Google account (Android) you bought it with. Restoring is free.
Where do ads appear?
A banner on the Home screen, and a full-screen ad between some levels, only after level 10 and at most once every three levels. Ads for an extra tube, more undos or double coins only play when you choose them. No ad ever appears during a level.
How many levels are there?
200 levels in 10 chapters of 20, from Shallows to Deluge, plus a new daily challenge every day. Every level is checked by a solver, so there's always a way through. You can replay any level from the level map.
I'm stuck. What can I do?
You get three free undos per level, a free hint, and an extra empty tube if you need one. You can also restart the level any time. If no move is left, the game tells you and offers a way out, and your moves are kept.
Does Tint Lab work offline?
Yes. Every level is made on your phone, so you can play without internet. Only ads and purchases need a connection.
Does Tint Lab work in Arabic?
Yes. Tint Lab is fully in English and Arabic, with a right-to-left layout in Arabic. Switch in Settings → Language. The tubes themselves aren't mirrored.
Do I need an account? Where is my progress saved?
There's no account and no sign-in. Your levels, stars, coins, streak and settings are saved only on your phone, and there's no sync between devices.
Which phones does Tint Lab run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and Android phones with Android 8.0 or later.
How do I change ad tracking or ad privacy choices?
On iPhone, tracking is off unless you allow it when the app asks; change it later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Where a consent choice is required, such as in the EEA and the UK, open Tint Lab and go to Settings → Privacy & ad choices to review it. More in the privacy policy.
