A focus for your next round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
Making your moves
- Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
- Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
- Trace the route.
- Finish all connections.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap pipe tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
