Know the goal in Pipe Puzzle

Take a moment with Pipe Puzzle before moving to another game. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Rotate the pieces in a 4×4 grid to join the inlet and outlet.

Practice with a purpose

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

The challenge in front of you

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

The order of play

  1. Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
  2. Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
  3. Trace the route.
  4. Finish all connections.

Using the playing area

Click or tap pipe tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

Learn from a sample situation

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

A useful caution

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
