How to play Pipe Puzzle

Try Pipe Puzzle at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Notice the feedback

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

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.

Controls

Click or tap pipe tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

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