How to play Pipe Puzzle
Read the aim of Pipe Puzzle, then make your first move. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Rotate the pieces in a 4×4 grid to join the inlet and outlet.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. 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. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
- Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
- Trace the route.
- Finish all connections.
Controls
Click or tap pipe tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
