A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
- Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
- Trace the route.
- Finish all connections.
Controls
Click or tap pipe tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
