PUZZLE NOTES

A Network With No Loose Ends

Twenty-five tiles that must meet in one continuous route.

Fixing one connection can expose another loose end.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

Getting a few pipes to line up is easy; making every connection part of one continuous network is the real puzzle. A rotation can fix one route while opening another loose end.

It is possible to make a few adjacent pieces look right while leaving the overall network broken. Each quarter turn changes which neighboring edges can meet. The route must connect IN to OUT without stray ends, and green connected pieces offer local feedback. A tidy corner is only a small part of the task: you have to check the board as one system rather than finishing isolated tiles.

HOW IT WORKS

The five-by-five board has twenty-five rotatable pipe tiles, including an IN and OUT route. Pieces rotate in quarter turns, and all connections must form a single network without stray ends.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

For players who enjoy spatial logic and tracing connections. The interactions are simple taps, while the reasoning comes from the orientation of neighboring pieces.
