Pipe Puzzle: from controls to your first round

Choose a round of Pipe Puzzle and settle into its rules. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

A focus for your next round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

What you are aiming for

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Start here and follow along

  1. Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
  2. Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
  3. Trace the route.
  4. Finish all connections.

Choosing and moving on screen

Click or tap pipe tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Follow the example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

One detail worth checking

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
