An introduction to playing Pipe Puzzle

Open Pipe Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.

Something to practise

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

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

The controls to know

Click or tap pipe tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

An example to follow

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.

Watch out for this

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
