Games like Magic Sort for color sort fans
Magic Sort is a potion-pouring color puzzle, and the games most like it are Water Sort Puzzle, Ball Sort Puzzle and Goods Sort. They all ask you to put each color in its own place. Roam has two sorting puzzles, plus ideas for dealing with ads.
What Magic Sort is
Magic Sort! is a free color-sorting puzzle by Grand Games with a fantasy look. You pour colored liquid from one bottle to another. You can only pour onto the same color or into an empty bottle, and the level ends when every bottle holds one color.
In 2026 it climbed into the top free games on the App Store. The most common complaint in reviews is the number of ads.
Sort puzzles like Magic Sort
- Water Sort Puzzle. The plain version of the same idea. Many apps use this name, so check the developer and the reviews before you install.
- Ball Sort Puzzle. Same rules with colored balls in tubes. Easier to read at a glance than liquid.
- Goods Sort. Sorting on shop shelves. Match three of the same item to clear them, with more items and less color.
How to solve sort puzzles faster, with fewer ads
Empty one bottle first. A free bottle gives you room to move every other color, so make one as early as you can.
Do not fill a bottle with a color that is still buried deep elsewhere. Work from the colors on top. When you get stuck, undo two moves instead of restarting, since most mistakes happen just before the dead end.
Too many ads? Look for a one-time remove-ads purchase in the settings. Many sort apps offer it, and it removes the forced ads between levels.
Or pick a game without a long ad after every level. Read the newest reviews first, since ad load often changes after a game gets popular.
