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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Rotate the pieces in a 4×4 grid to join the inlet and outlet.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
