Branch (Daily Loop)

About Branch (Daily Loop)

Branch is a take on the classic netwalk or pipes puzzle. The grid holds straight pieces, corners, T-junctions, crosses and dead ends, all turned the wrong way. Clicking a tile rotates it, and the goal is a single connected tree of pipes running out from the source tile, marked with a star, where no pipe end points at nothing.

The puzzle is generated in the browser from the UTC date, so every player sees the same grid on a given day, and it is numbered by days since the game began in September 2025. A timer and a move counter run while you play, a check button tells you whether the current network is fully connected, and a statistics panel keeps your streak, win rate, average moves and average time. There are also achievements to unlock across the site.

Branch sits next to Loop on the Daily Loop site: Loop is a quick 6x6 puzzle about forming one closed loop, while Branch is the slower 8x8 network that the site rates as hard and estimates at two to five minutes.

It suits people who enjoy spatial logic puzzles and want something that takes a few minutes rather than a long session.

How to play Branch (Daily Loop)

1. Open Branch and find the source tile marked with a star.
2. Click any tile to rotate it a quarter turn.
3. Turn tiles so every pipe end meets another pipe end, building one network that reaches back to the source.
4. Make sure no pipe points off the edge or into an empty side.
5. Use the check button to confirm, then share your time and move count.

Tips

• Start at the edges and corners: pipes there can only face inward.
• Fix dead ends and crosses early, they have the fewest valid rotations.
• Avoid closing a loop, the network has to branch like a tree.
• Fewer rotations means a better move count, so think before clicking.
