- Rotate the tiles so that every pipe joins one single network with the pump in the middle.
- Every pipe end must meet a pipe end on the neighboring tile; no pipe may stick out over the edge of the board.
- The network may have no loose pipe ends and no loops.
- Tap to rotate clockwise. Long-press or right-click to lock a tile you are sure of.
- Water already flows through the pipes connected to the pump.
Pipes
What is Pipes?
In Pipes you rotate the tiles so that every pipe joins one single network with the pump in the middle. Every pipe end must meet a pipe end on the neighboring tile, no pipe may stick out over the edge of the board, and the network may have no loose ends and no loops. A tap rotates a tile clockwise, and water already flows through the pipes connected to the pump.
If you know the Net or Pipes puzzles, this one brings the same brain teaser. Start with the edges and the corners of the board, because there a pipe can only point in a few directions. Long-press or right-click to lock the tiles you are sure of, so you never turn them by accident. The daily board is 7×7 on Monday and Tuesday and 11×11 on the weekend.
FAQ
How do I lock a tile?
Long-press it or right-click it. A locked tile will not turn by accident, so you can safely work on its neighbors.
Where should I start?
At the edges and in the corners of the board: pipes there cannot point outwards, so they often have only one possible position. Straight pipes along the edge always run parallel to it.
Can the network have a loop?
No, the finished network cannot have a loop, and no loose pipe ends may be left. Every pipe has to be connected to the pump.
