Something to practise

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.

What you are aiming for

Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap pipe tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Learn from a sample situation

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

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.
