How the Pipeline Solver Works
Our Pipeline solver gives you today's answer and hints for the daily Business Insider Pipeline puzzle. Click any colored dot or cell to reveal the complete pipe for that color. Use "Reveal Next" to step through the solution one color at a time, or "Reveal All" to see the complete board at once.
The color swatches on the right let you target a specific color directly — great when you're confident about some pipes but stuck on one in particular.
What Is Business Insider Pipeline?
Pipeline is a daily flow-connection puzzle on Business Insider. You connect matching colored dots with continuous pipes that fill every cell on the grid. Pipes cannot cross each other — finding paths that cover every cell is the challenge.
The game is identical in mechanics to Flow Free, one of the most popular mobile puzzle games. Business Insider's version brings it to a daily format with a shared puzzle for all players.
Business Insider also offers Boxed, Knighthop, and Tally as part of their daily puzzle collection.
Tips for Solving Pipeline
Start with the most constrained dots — pairs that are close together, near corners, or surrounded by other colors. These have the fewest valid paths and are usually solvable first.
Fill-all-cells is the key constraint. Unlike standard flow puzzles, every cell must be covered. This means you can't take a shortcut — sometimes a longer path is forced because you need to cover cells that have no other color.
Work from edges inward. Dots near the edges of the grid have fewer direction choices, making them good starting points.
