Pipe Puzzle: instructions and practice

Read the aim of Pipe Puzzle, then make your first move. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

A small practice goal

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.

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.

How your actions work

Click or tap pipe tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

An example to follow

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
