Tidy Tides: Free Color Sort Puzzle

Tidy Tides is a free color sort puzzle you can play online, right in your browser. A storm has left the beach covered in trash. Sort it by color into crates, and every puzzle you solve rebuilds a piece of a little seaside town. There's no download and no sign-up.

How to play

1. Tap a crate to pick up the items on top.
2. Tap another crate to drop them. They can go on the same color or into an empty crate.
3. Each crate holds four items. Fill every crate with a single color to solve the puzzle.
4. Stuck? Undo as many moves as you like, or tap Hint to see a move that leads to a solution.

A new daily sort puzzle

The Daily Tides tab gives everyone the same three puzzles each day: an easy Low Tide, a classic High Tide and a tough King Tide. Solve them in as few moves as you can, then send your scores to a friend and see who sorted each one faster. New tides arrive at midnight.

No lives, no timers

Play as long as you want. Nothing makes you wait, nothing runs out, and undo and hints are always free. Every puzzle is checked by a solver before you see it, so each one can be solved.
