About Kitchen Sorting
Kitchen Sorting turns the pantry into a spatial-planning puzzle. Every tap or swipe is a decision about sequence: which jar you open first determines which colours become free to move later. The game is a small directed graph where each pour changes the reachable states. Planning the order of moves — not just matching colours — is the real challenge. A single misordered pour can block a colour deep in a jar, forcing you to waste empty slots as temporary buffers. Master the graph and your kitchen shelves will snap into perfect order.
Love that satisfying click of order? Kitchen Sorting brings the classic water-sorting puzzle right into a cozy kitchen. Strategically move matching ingredients between jars, stacking only the same type or into empty spaces. It’s a simple, addictive puzzle where every smart move brings you closer to a perfectly sorted pantry, ready for cooking.
How to Play Kitchen Sorting
- Tap a jar to pick one or more ingredients of the same kind from the top.
- Tap another jar to drop them in — you can only drop on top of the same kind or into an empty jar.
- You can also swipe from the source jar to the destination jar instead of tapping.
- Sort all jars so that each jar contains only one kind of ingredient to complete the level.
Game Features
- Classic water-sort rule set in a kitchen theme with ingredient jars instead of test tubes.
- Two control methods: tap-to-select or swipe-to-pour for faster play.
- Multiple levels of increasing complexity as the number of jars and ingredient types grow.
- Empty jars serve as temporary holding spaces, requiring strategic use to unblock stuck colours.
Tips & Strategies
- Before any pour, scan all jars to identify which colour appears only on top of its own kind — those are safe to move first.
- Use empty jars sparingly; each one is a limited resource that can unblock a chain of moves if placed wisely.
- If a colour is buried under two or more other colours, look for a jar where you can temporarily stack the blocking colours together.
- When swiping, drag from the source jar directly to the destination — the game highlights valid targets to prevent misdrops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pick more than one ingredient at a time from a jar?
Yes, tapping a jar picks all consecutive same-colour ingredients from the top in one go. You then move that entire stack to another jar.
What happens if I tap a jar with only one ingredient left?
You pick that single ingredient. You can then drop it onto the same colour in another jar or into an empty jar.
Is it possible to undo a move?
The official instructions do not mention an undo button. Once you drop ingredients, the move is permanent, so plan carefully before pouring.
How do I know which jars I can drop into?
When you have selected a stack, valid destination jars highlight to indicate you can drop there. Invalid targets remain unhighlighted.
Do all jars need to be filled to complete a level?
No, you only need each jar to contain one colour. Some jars may remain empty after sorting, and that is acceptable.
