Phones and computers

Spice Rack Sort is a sort puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.

Tap a jar, then another, to pour layered spices until every jar holds a single spice. Pours go onto the same spice or into an empty jar, and from rack 3 a shaker jar fills from the top but pours from the bottom. Sorting a rack opens the next, with stars for fewer moves.

Tips

Undo is unlimited but every undo counts as a move, so a wrong pour and its undo cost two toward par; Restart rack sets the count back to zero.
The shaker jar is a queue: spice goes in at the top but pours out from the bottom, oldest layer first, so the top colour is not what pours.
A pour moves only as many layers as fit: a run of three into a jar with two free slots leaves one behind and splits the run.

How are stars worked out in Spice Rack Sort?

A solver finds the shortest solution for each rack and that length is the par shown at the top. Finishing within two moves of par earns three stars; within one and a half times par plus four earns two; anything slower earns one. Your best stars for each rack are saved.

When does the shaker jar appear?

From rack 3 on, one jar in every rack is a shaker with caps at both ends, and the daily rack always has one. Racks grow from a few spices to nine, always with two empty jars, and each spice carries its own shape mark so the jars can be sorted by shape as well as colour.
