Powderlab is a free water sort puzzle game you play online — with magical powders instead of water. Pour the exposed top layer from one jar into another until every filled jar holds a single color and the spare jars are empty. Each campaign board shows a par move count, Undo lets you test a sequence, and an endless mode keeps going with rising difficulty.
If you like water sort and ball sort puzzle games, Powderlab will feel familiar: you move the top layer between containers until each holds one color. Space is limited, so before every pour ask what it will uncover next.
Choose Play Campaign and the first board, First Decant. It opens with Moves 0 and Par 4 — the target number of pours. The guide shows how to finish it in exactly four.
Before your next move
Do not choose a destination because a matching color is buried inside it: only the exposed top layer counts.
An empty jar is an option, not a requirement. On the first board, using it for a temporary transfer adds work that the four-pour route avoids.

Questions about Powderlab
Is Powderlab a water sort puzzle?
Yes. It works like a water sort or ball sort puzzle: pour the top layer from one jar to another until every filled jar holds one color. The layers are magic powders instead of water.
Is Powderlab free to play?
Yes. You can play Powderlab online free in your browser, with no download.
Why can a pour be unavailable?
Only the exposed top powder can move, and the destination must be empty or show the same powder on top, with enough free space.
What does Par mean?
Par is the target number of pours for a board. Finishing near it improves your result.
