How to play Pipe Puzzle

Choose a round of Pipe Puzzle and settle into its rules. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Practice with a purpose

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What counts as success

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Work through the instructions

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

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap pipe tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
