The Pipe Puzzle playbook

Start Pipe Puzzle by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

A focus for your next round

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

The challenge in front of you

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap pipe tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Try this example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.

Keep this in mind

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
