Tap any irrigation tile to rotate it clockwise; connect all sixteen tiles without an open end

What is distinct here

Garden Current goes beyond matching adjacent pipe ends: all sixteen tiles must belong to one closed route. This single-loop rule prevents several small sealed loops from being mistaken for a solved irrigation network.

Rules

  1. Every tile contains either a straight or bent irrigation channel and rotates clockwise when selected.
  2. Each open channel end must meet the opposite end of an adjacent tile; channels may not point beyond the garden edge.
  3. A bed is complete only when all sixteen tiles belong to one connected closed loop, not several smaller loops.
  4. Restore three independently scrambled beds. Fewer moves and less time earn a higher locally stored score.

Strategy tips

  • Fix the four corners first because each one has only a single safe inward orientation.
  • A glowing tile has both ends sealed, but several small glowing loops are not enough—the progress loop must include all sixteen cells.
  • Trace one continuous route from a solved corner instead of rotating isolated tiles at random.

What we tested

Boards begin from verified loops that visit every cell before individual tiles are rotated. Tests check edge leaks, reciprocal connections, full connectivity, three-bed progress, move scoring, keyboard and touch rotation, pause and restart.

Frequently asked questions

Is every Garden Current puzzle solvable?

Yes. Each bed starts from a verified loop that visits all sixteen cells, then every tile is rotated away from that solution.

Why can every tile glow but the bed still be incomplete?

Mutually connected tiles can form several separate loops. The win check also requires one connected route that reaches all sixteen tiles.

Does Garden Current upload my score or progress?

No. Only the best score is stored in this browser; the game requires no account or personal information.
