Chord Sort: The Ball Sort Puzzle That Plays Music
Chord Sort is a ball sort puzzle where every ball is a musical note. Tap a tube to lift the balls on top, tap another tube to pour them in. You can only stack a ball on the same color or drop it into an empty tube, and the goal is simple: four of a kind in every tube. Each color also has its own shape, so you can play it on mute or if you mix up colors. The music is the twist. Every level hides a famous tune, from nursery rhymes and folk songs to Beethoven, Mozart and Christmas carols. As a tube fills up it climbs through its chord, and when it is full it closes with a golden cap, plays its chord and reveals its bar of the melody on the strip at the top. Sort the last tube and all the tubes play the whole song together while our pet band dances on stage. The strip also shows the song order: finish the tubes in that order for a Gold Record. There are 72 levels in six albums, from two colors to twelve, with mystery notes that stay hidden until they reach the top. Undo is free and unlimited, hints come from a real solver, and an extra tube is there when you are stuck. Come back every day for the Daily puzzle and keep your streak, or try By Ear mode, where every ball looks the same and you sort by sound alone. Free in your browser, on phone and PC.
