About this game
Hue Sort is a color sorting puzzle about seeing the spectrum. Every level scatters a set of color discs across the board and asks for one thing: drag each disc onto the rail where its shade belongs. The rail shows the target gradient, so the answer is always on screen - the skill is trusting your eyes as the steps get finer. From level three, gray decoys sneak into the pile and every one goes into the furnace or costs you time. Good drops in a row build a combo worth up to five times, a wrong drop costs three seconds, and each of the twelve levels only clears when every color sits on its exact slot and every decoy is tossed. Early levels walk the hue wheel in wide steps, later levels tighten the gap, and the even levels from level six switch to a single-hue lightness scale where only brightness separates neighbors. Clear a level with time left and the remainder becomes bonus points. Free in your browser on phone and desktop, no download and no account.
How to play
Drag a color disc onto the rail and drop it where its shade matches the gradient segment. Drag gray discs into the furnace on the right. Fill every slot and toss every decoy before the timer ends.
Tips & Tricks
- Compare against the segment color, not your memory of the wheel
- Sort the darkest and lightest ends first, fill the middle last
- Grays first when the board is crowded, they never belong on the rail
- A wrong drop costs 3 seconds but the disc goes home - stay calm
Frequently asked questions
How is Hue Sort different from water sort games?
Water sort moves colors into tubes, Hue Sort lays them along a visible gradient rail. The target order is always on screen, so the challenge is perceptual precision on tight steps, plus filtering gray decoys into the furnace.
Is Hue Sort free and kid friendly?
It is completely free in the browser, with no download and no sign-up. Beyond the timer there is no fail state and wrong drops simply cost seconds, so it works as a calm color-perception game for kids and adults.
