Guide
How to play NYT Pips
NYT Pips is a domino logic puzzle built around a grid, a tray of dominoes, and colored clue regions. Each domino covers two neighboring cells, and every covered value must satisfy the rule printed in its colored area.
The challenge is not just finding a total; it is deciding where each two-cell tile can legally fit. Strong solves usually come from combining region clues with domino orientation, forced placements, and process of elimination.
Board rules
Understanding the board
Colored regions are the heart of Pips. A single region may cover one cell or several cells, and the clue in that region tells you what the pips must do once the dominoes are placed.
NYT Pips condition types
=
Equals
Every cell in the colored region must show the same pip value.
!=
Not equal
The cells in that region must all use different values.
5
Number target
The pips inside the region must add up to the shown number.
>3
Greater than
The region total must be higher than the number on the clue.
<3
Less than
The region total must stay below the number on the clue.
blank
Blank
There is no extra region rule; normal domino placement still applies.
Game mechanics
How Pips placements work
Positioning
Dominoes must occupy two adjacent open cells, either across a row or down a column.
Rotating
Some tiles only work after their two halves are oriented in the correct direction.
Adjusting
If a region no longer satisfies its clue, back up and test another legal placement.
Difficulty
NYT Pips difficulty levels
Easy: smaller boards and more direct clue chains.
