Free sorting games with tubes and shelves
Sorting games start with a mess and ask you to tidy it. Colours are mixed across tubes, poles or shelves, and you move them one piece or one layer at a time until each container holds a single kind. The rules take a move or two to learn. The puzzle is in the order, because one careless pour can block the tube you needed next.

About sort & organise puzzles
The games here fall into two families. The first is the tube puzzle, usually called water sort or ball sort. Liquid, balls or rings sit in layers, and only the top layer can move. The usual rule is that it may land on the same colour or in an empty container and nowhere else. Water Sort Master states that rule plainly, claims more than 1000 levels and lists six modes, among them Time Trial and Limited Moves. Hoop Sort Fever applies the same rule to hoops on poles and gives you undo, an extra pole and a level skip for when a board jams. Bubble Sorting is stricter: two different colours may never sit side by side, and you get five reversals per level to take a move back.
The second family is the shelf sort, which behaves more like a matching game set in a shop. Goods sit on shelves, often stacked behind one another, and a set of three identical items clears away. Several of these run against a clock. Goods Sort is one of them: you click three matching items, which may be on different shelves, and every level has a strict time limit.
A few games change the container altogether. Color Screw 3D gives you a 3D object held together by coloured bolts. You rotate it, unscrew bolts into colour boxes that hold three each, and watch loose parts drop away under physics to reveal more bolts underneath. Crystal Cave Sort keeps the water sort rules but pours gemstones between crystal tunnels, over 200 levels in eight cave worlds, with Easy, Medium and Hard settings.
Frame shape varies more than you might expect. Bubble Sorting and Hoop Sort Fever are tall portrait games that fit a phone held upright, while Water Sort Master and Crystal Cave Sort are drawn in landscape format. Almost every game in the section is played with a click or a tap alone. If you like a puzzle you can put down and pick up again, start with the tube games, few of which mention a timer at all. If you would rather have a clock pressing on you, the shelf games will supply one.
