Pips
Place the dominoes to solve the daily grid.
What is Pips?
Pips is the NYT's domino logic puzzle: place a set of dominoes onto a board so every marked region satisfies its numeric rule.
How to play Pips
Drag dominoes into the grid so that regions match their constraints — some must sum to a target, some must hold equal values, some must all differ. Every domino must fit and every rule must hold.
Tips & strategy
- Start with the most restrictive regions (exact sums, single cells).
- Equal-value regions force matching pips — use them to anchor placements.
- If a region can't be satisfied, backtrack the domino feeding it.
