## What is Daily Sort?

Daily Sort is a color-pouring puzzle at sortstreak.com. Everyone receives the same daily arrangement of tubes, and the goal is to separate the mixed colors until each filled tube contains a single color.

The controls are simple: tap a source tube, then a destination. The planning challenge is keeping enough free space to uncover buried colors without trapping yourself in a position where useful pours are impossible.

## Matching colors and empty space

Pour onto the same top color or into an empty tube, subject to the available capacity. A completed color stack is useful because it stops competing for temporary storage with the remaining mixed tubes.

You start the daily puzzle with three hearts. **Undo is free**, while restarting costs a heart. That makes backtracking an important tool: reconsider a recent move before paying to discard the whole attempt.

## How to play

1. Choose **Play** on today's puzzle and inspect the tube tops, mixed layers, and empty spaces.
2. Tap the tube you want to pour from, then a legal destination with matching color or empty capacity.
3. Continue grouping colors while checking which buried layers each pour exposes.
4. Use **Undo** if a move removes useful space or leads to a dead end; restart only when you want a fresh attempt.
5. Complete the sort and use the result screen's sharing or card-saving controls.

## Keep a useful buffer

An empty tube is more flexible than a tube holding an unrelated color. Before filling your last empty space, identify the move that will free another space afterward. Otherwise, a harmless-looking pour can leave several mixed stacks unable to move.

Look beneath the top layer when comparing two legal moves. A pour that uncovers the color needed elsewhere may be more useful than one that merely creates a taller stack. Undo lets you test and revise that plan without spending a heart on a full restart.

The separate Arcade menu offers Standard with five colors and Expert with six. Use those options when you want additional puzzles beyond the shared daily board.
