Click or tap pipe tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
An elbow must point toward both adjacent pipe ends. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Visual proximity does not connect mismatched ends. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
