Choosing and moving on screen

Click or tap pipe tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Follow the example

An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
