About Sort Balls - Cones

Sort Balls - Cones drops you into a logic puzzle that fits neatly into a single sitting. Each level asks you to sort coloured balls into matching tubes, using empty cones as temporary staging areas. The session-friendly structure means you can pick up a level, work through the sequence of moves required to group every colour, and set it down again without needing to remember where you left off. The calm focus of matching each vial to a single colour makes it an ideal pick for a coffee break or a brief pause in the day.

Sort colored balls into matching tubes in this satisfying logic puzzle. Plan each move carefully to group every color together, using empty tubes as temporary space. The simple rules quickly give way to tricky challenges that require real strategy. Think ahead to avoid dead ends and enjoy the calm, focused feeling of getting everything in its perfect place.

How to Play Sort Balls - Cones

Select a vial by clicking or tapping it to pick up the top ball.
Select another vial to move the ball onto it. You can only move a ball onto a vial that has the same colour at the top or is empty.
Use empty vials as temporary space to rearrange balls that block the colour you need to group.
Plan each move so you don't trap a colour behind another that can't be placed elsewhere.
Continue until every vial contains balls of only one colour.

Tips & Strategies

Before making a move, check how many balls of each colour remain to avoid trapping a colour you'll need later.
Leave at least one empty vial until the final grouping stages so you have room to rearrange.
If a colour appears in three or more vials, consolidate it early to free up tubes for other colours.
When moving a ball, consider the colour below it—if you move the top ball, you might expose a colour that can't be placed anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I move a ball to a vial that already has a different colour on top?

The move is not allowed. You can only place a ball onto a vial where the top ball matches its colour or onto an empty vial.

Can I undo a move if I make a mistake?

The official instructions do not mention an undo feature. Plan your moves carefully to avoid dead ends.

How many empty vials do I start with?

The number of empty vials varies by level. The instructions do not specify a fixed count, but you always have at least one empty vial to use as temporary space.

Is there a time limit or score in this game?

No. The goal is simply to sort all the balls into single-colour vials. There is no timer or scoring system mentioned.

Why can't I move a ball to a vial that already has space?

You can only move the top ball of a vial, and it must go onto a vial with a matching top colour or an empty vial. If the vial's top colour differs, the move is blocked.
