Your objective
Rotate all pipes to connect inlet and outlet without leaks. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
From the start of a round
- Tap a tile for a quarter-turn.
- Match every pipe end with its neighbour.
- Trace the route.
- Finish all connections.
How to interact with the game

Learn from a sample situation
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Notice this detail
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
