Pourline tips

General habits that work on any day. Nothing here describes a particular day's puzzle.

Play Pourline

Mind the locked tube

The last tube opens only after a few moves. Plan your first pours around the one open empty tube.

Pour whole runs

A pour moves the whole top run of a colour. Stack matching tops before you pour, so one move carries more.

Keep a tube empty

An empty tube is your most useful move. Fill it only when the pour finishes a colour or frees another tube.

Undo is a move too

Every undo adds a move, so think a pour through before you make it.

Fewer moves beat speed

Ranking is moves first, time second. Take a moment to find the shorter line.

Use the patterns

Every colour has its own pattern. Patterns+ (or C) makes them bolder if shades are hard to tell apart.
