How to play Pipe Puzzle

Open Pipe Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

Review a difficult moment

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

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

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
