Get Color Solver

For Get Color, the sand sort game. Add a screenshot of a level, fresh or in progress, and get the next pour or every pour in order.

Or drop it here, or paste it. The screenshot stays on this device.

Rules

  • A pour moves the top layers of one color into another bottle, as many as fit.
  • You can pour onto the same color or into an empty bottle.
  • The level is solved when every bottle with sand holds one color and is full, and the extra bottle is empty.
  • A level has 2 spare bottles. The game sells one more, which holds 1 layer.

How the hints work

The solver searches for a short list of pours that sorts the board, then shows them one at a time. The rest stays hidden until you ask for it. If no pours sort the board, it checks whether undoing your last pour would help, because the game lets you undo one.

Limits

  • Use a screenshot of the whole game screen, not only the bottles. The reader was tested on iPhone screenshots of the game; Android screenshots, other themes, photos of a screen and blurry images may need a fix in Edit board. If you bought the extra bottle, add it there.
  • The pours are a short solution, not always the shortest. Real levels solve in a second or two; if the search runs out of time, a layer is almost certainly misread, so compare the bottles with your screenshot in Edit board.
  • Your last puzzle is saved on this device for 30 minutes, so you can switch to the game and come back. The screenshot isn’t saved, so after a reload add it again to compare.
