THE PLAYBOOK · CCTGJX

Read before your next round of Pipe Puzzle

Bring your attention to one round of Pipe Puzzle. Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

Practice with a purpose

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. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

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.

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.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap pipe tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example before you play

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Where a round can go wrong

Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
