Find your footing in Pipe Puzzle

Start Pipe Puzzle by looking at the playing area and its controls. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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 beyond the first move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

The challenge in front of you

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Making your moves

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

How to use the controls

Click or tap pipe tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.

Follow the example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

Keep this in mind

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
