How to Play Pipes

Objective

Rotate the pipe tiles so that all pipes connect to form a single continuous network. The puzzle is solved when every pipe end connects to another pipe, with no closed loops and no disconnected sections.

The Rules

• 1.Single network: All pipes must be connected together. There should be no isolated groups.
• 2.No loops: The pipe network must form a tree structure. Closed loops are not allowed.
• 3.No dead ends: Every pipe opening must connect to another pipe. No pipe can point to an empty cell or off the grid.
• 4.Rotate only: You can only rotate tiles. You cannot move them to different positions.

Pipe Types

Tips & Strategies

• Start from the edges: Pipes at the edge of the grid have fewer possible connections, making them easier to solve.
• Look for end pipes: End pipes (single opening) must connect to exactly one neighbor, which limits their rotation options.
• Avoid creating loops: If rotating a pipe would create a closed loop, that rotation is incorrect.
• Use the lock feature: Right-click to lock tiles you're confident about. This helps you focus on remaining tiles.
• Connected pipes turn green: Properly connected pipes change color to help you track your progress.
