About Pips
Pips is a New York Times logic puzzle where you place dominoes on a grid so that colored regions meet their conditions. It comes in easy, medium and hard versions every day.
How to play Pips
Drag each domino onto the board; you can rotate it to fit. Colored regions carry conditions, such as the pips adding up to a number, all being equal, all being different, or being greater or less than a value.
The puzzle is solved when every domino is placed and every region's condition is satisfied.
PipsTips & Strategies
- Start with the most restrictive regions, such as a single cell that must be greater than or less than a value.
- Regions with an "equal" condition often force specific dominoes, so place those early.
- Count the total pips needed for sum regions and match them against the dominoes you have.
- Work through the easy puzzle first each day to warm up before tackling the hard one.
- If a domino could fit in two places, check which choice leaves the remaining dominoes a valid spot.
