Help with Pourwell.

How to play

Tap a bottle to pick it up, then tap another to pour. The top color pours onto the same color or into an empty bottle, as much as fits. Each bottle holds four layers.

Sort every color into its own full bottle. A finished bottle gets a glass stopper and stays sealed. When a pour isn’t allowed, the bottle shakes and Pourwell says why.

Par

Par is the fewest pours that can solve the board. Pourwell proves it with an exact search on your iPhone and never estimates it. On a large board, par can show “…” for a moment while the search finishes.

Finish in par or fewer pours to make par. Your best for each board is kept, and a best at par turns gold. Any finish sorts the board and moves you on, so par is something to chase, never a requirement.

Undo, restart and hints

Undo and restart are always free and unlimited. Tap Hint to see a suggested pour, drawn as an arc between two bottles. A hint also says whether par is still in reach from where you are. Hints are free too; a shared result says how many you used.

Levels and chapters

Levels 1 to 8 are lessons that introduce one idea at a time. Later chapters add colors, up to ten colors in twelve bottles. Tap the grid button at the top left to see your levels by chapter, replay a finished level or play up to two levels ahead. “Not yet at par” lists finished levels you can still improve.

Daily board and play history

Switch to Daily at the top of the screen. Each date has one board, the same for everyone, and a new one arrives at midnight in your time zone. Unfinished attempts are saved when you switch modes or the date changes.

Tap the calendar button at the top left to open your play history. A filled drop marks a sorted day and a gold ring marks par. Tap a day to see its result or play it.

The full game

Pourwell is free to download. Levels 1 to 24 and today’s daily are always free, and so is any daily you have already started. A one-time purchase unlocks every level after 24 and every past daily in your play history. There are no ads and no subscription, and undo and hints are free either way.

To buy, finish level 24, tap a locked level, or open Settings and tap Unlock the full game. To restore the purchase on a new or reinstalled iPhone, open Settings and tap Restore purchase while signed in with the Apple Account you used to buy it.

Accessibility and comfort

• Color symbols, in Settings, add a distinct shape to each color, so you never have to tell colors apart by hue alone.
• Pourwell follows your text size, including the largest accessibility sizes, and describes every bottle to VoiceOver.
• With Reduce Motion on, pours and celebrations are calmer.
• Fast pours, in Settings, shortens each pour. Sound and haptics can be turned off there too.

Your progress

Progress is saved on your iPhone as you play. Pourwell has no account and does not sync between devices. Restoring an iPhone from a backup brings Pourwell’s progress back; deleting the app erases it.

Privacy

Pourwell works offline and needs no account. From version 1.0.2 it can share anonymous weekly play statistics, but only if you choose Share play stats, and you can turn that off anytime in Settings. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
