How to Play Pipes
Overview
Rotate the pipe tiles so that all pipes connect to form a single continuous network. Every pipe end must connect to another pipe, with no closed loops and no disconnected sections.

Rules

- 4You can only rotate tiles, not move them.

Solving Strategies
Start from Edges
Edge pipes have fewer connection options, making them easier to solve first.
Focus on End Pipes
End pipes must connect to exactly one neighbor, limiting rotation options.
Avoid Loops
If a rotation would create a closed loop, it's incorrect.
Use Lock Feature
Lock tiles you're confident about to focus on remaining ones.
