Your goal
Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
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.
Watch out for this
