How to play Pipe Connect
Pipe Connect is a pipe-turning puzzle on a grid of copper pipes. Water comes out of the tap on the left edge and has to reach the drain on the right edge. Tap or click a tile to turn it a quarter turn clockwise (right-click turns it back) until the pipes line up into one unbroken route.
The 60 levels grow from a 4 by 4 grid to 8 by 8. Side pipes and empty holes add clutter, bolted steel tiles cannot be turned, and optional bonus drains on side pipes add points when they fill. On sealed levels every pipe the water touches must be closed off, so a single open end that drips a leak means the level is not done yet.
Fewer turns earn up to three stars. A hint, offered through an optional video, glows on the next tile that is wrong. Progress, stars and settings are saved on your device, so you can close the tab and come back later. The game runs in the browser with no download and no account.

FAQ
How do I win a level?
Turn the tiles until one unbroken pipe route runs from the tap on the left edge to the drain on the right edge. The water fills the pipes live, so you can see how far it gets.
What is a sealed level?
On sealed levels (marked at the top) no pipe that holds water may have an open end. Any open end drips a leak, and the level is only done when the water reaches the drain with no leaks.
What are the steel tiles and gold drains?
Steel tiles with bolts are locked and cannot be turned, so build around them. Small gold grates on side pipes are bonus drains: they add points when water reaches them, but you never have to fill them.
How are stars earned?
By the number of turns: stay close to the par shown at the top for three stars. Turning back also counts as a turn.
Is Pipe Connect free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Tap a tile to turn it a quarter turn. Hint and Reset buttons at the bottom.
