Calm Sort

Pour colours between jars until each jar is a single colour. Unlimited undo, and a spare jar if you want one.

Play free — no signup

Tap a jar, then tap another to pour the top colour.

Pour until each jar is a single colour.

Why this helps: Planning a short sequence of pours occupies working memory with a visible, reversible problem.

Grounding games are supportive tools, not emergency care. If you are in danger or cannot stay safe, use crisis resources.

Why this helps

Planning a short sequence of pours occupies working memory with a visible, reversible problem.

A puzzle you can always undo

Sorting games often punish a wrong pour by locking the board. Calm Sort keeps every pour reversible, and the spare jar means a tight spot is an offer of room rather than a dead end.

What you keep

Each cleared level adds a jar colour to a shelf on this device. Packs open in order: Gentle, then Steady, then Winding. There is no streak to protect.

When to play it

Use it when you want a quiet problem with a visible end. If reading the jars feels like too much during a peak, switch to breathing or a simpler board. If you are in danger, use crisis resources.

About Calm Sort

What if I pour the wrong colour?

Tap Undo. The pour goes back. You can also restart the level. There is no score and no penalty.

Why is there an extra jar?

So a level cannot trap you. The spare jar is free on every board, once per attempt.
