Pipe Puzzle: how a round works
Open Pipe Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Rotate the pieces in a 4×4 grid to join the inlet and outlet.
Give this approach a try
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your objective
Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
- Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
- Trace the route.
- Finish all connections.
How to use the controls

Follow the example
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Check this before moving on
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
