How to play Pipe Puzzle

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Pipe Puzzle. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. 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.

Try a deliberate move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A useful example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
