How to Play NYT Pips

We know you are here to see today’s Pips answer, so you naturally know how to play the game. But there is no harm in going over and refreshing the rules. So, we have mentioned how to play the NYT Pips game in easy steps below. Go over these rules before you play the puzzle game again tomorrow.

  • NYT Pips involves arranging dominoes while fulfilling certain conditions in the grid.
  • You start by placing the dominoes to fulfill conditions. Click on the dominoes below the puzzle to rotate them, and then drag them to the position you want to place them.
  • There are three difficulty levels for the NYT Pips puzzle – Easy, Medium, and Hard.
  • Every domino must be used, and every condition must be satisfied to win the game. In the second row, place the 2/0 domino horizontally with 2 pips in the purple box.

If a colored box has a number as its condition, it means the sum of the dominoes in that colored grid must be equal to the said number. If you see ‘=’ as the condition, it means the pips in the highlighted grid must be equal to each other.

Similarly, the not equal condition means that the pips must not be equal to each other. For example, you cannot place two pips with the same dominoes in this grid.

Tips and Tricks to Master NYT Pips

NYT Pips requires critical thinking and reasoning. But there are some tips and tricks you can follow to master the puzzle game.

  • Start with basic restrictions like ‘=’ or the sum of numbers. Try placing dominoes with the same denominations to satisfy the ‘=’ restriction. That will help in minimizing the pips you have to adjust.
  • Moreover, 0 or 1 conditions are easiest to place as there are limited number of pips that will satisfy these conditions.
  • While it is important to see where pips fit, it is most important to know where certain pips won’t fit. That makes it easy for you eliminate the number of pips you have to fit.
