Usually, the more rotation options the parts of this puzzle have, the harder it is to solve. To start, we recommend solving the version with square and triangular elements. Let's consider the solving process for a more complex hexagonal variant of the "pipe" puzzle.
The solving process involves sequentially finding elements for which the rotation is determined unambiguously. That is, there is only one single rotation option where the rules will not be violated. Such cells can be marked with a long tap or a right-click.
Since a segment cannot lead into emptiness, we can immediately find several such elements on the edges of the puzzle. Additionally, to facilitate solving, use the fact that two parts with circles cannot be turned towards each other, as it creates an isolated node. We can place red marks between them using the mouse. Also, green lines can be drawn on the borders where the connection must be precise. This will help us in further solving.
Next, check the parts that touch the already found elements and see if it's possible to precisely determine the only correct position for some of them. The more neighbors of gray color and different marks next to a detail, the more likely it is that it has only one possible rotation option.
Adding marks and highlighting elements in gray is not mandatory, but the more we put them, the easier it is to visually find the position of new elements.
All puzzles have only one possible solution and are solved logically.
Continue solving in the same way until you solve the puzzle completely. Try solving this puzzle yourself: https://en.grandgames.net/pipes/id434775
