How to Use the Pips Hint Tool

Our Pips solving tool mirrors the real puzzle board, but with question marks instead of numbers. Choose your level: Easy, Medium, or Hard. Then reveal exactly what you need:

• Click a question mark to uncover a number and highlight its domino piece.
• Or, click a piece below to place it directly on the grid.
• Or, reveal everything fast with just one click.

Reveal just one square, a few tiles, or the entire board; it’s completely up to you.

What Is Pips? The Newest NYT Game (Officially Launched on August 18, 2025)

Ever been stumped by the crossword clue “Dot on a domino”? That dot is called a pip, and now it has its very own NYT game. Pips takes those familiar little spots and turns them into a brand-new kind of challenge. Edited by Ian Livengood, who you might know from his frequent work on the Mini, Pips blends the polish of NYT crosswords with the satisfaction of pure logic.

Pips is the New York Times’ latest original logic puzzle game, officially launched on August 18, 2025, after a successful beta run in Canada. It's a bold addition to the NYT Games collection, introducing a fresh, domino-based challenge that breaks away from the wordplay format of Wordle, Connections, or Crosswords

A Domino-Inspired Logic Puzzle

The goal is to fit all dominoes within the board using a drag-and-drop interface, while meeting the imposed conditions like:

• Equal ( = ) or not equal ( ≠ )
• Greater than ( > ) or less than ( < )
• Exact sum totals

The board also has areas with no restrictions for free placement

Three Playable Levels, No Time Pressure

Pips offers three daily puzzles—Easy, Medium, and Hard—all available to play in any order, on both web and app. Easy puzzles might involve placing four or five dominoes, while the hardest can require up to 16 placements. There’s no timer, no penalties, and you’re free to revisit and fix errors, all aiming to deliver a satisfying, thoughtful solving experience.

Handcrafted Puzzles, Polished Design

Pips puzzles are handcrafted by NYT editors, giving them a thoughtfully designed and polished feel. Their visual clarity and simplicity reflect the game’s design philosophy: easy to begin, satisfying to complete.

Just like Wordle, the Crossword, Connections, and Strands, Pips refreshes daily at midnight local time. That means no matter where you are in the world, a fresh set of three puzzles is waiting for you every morning, ready to become part of your daily solving ritual.

Lady Puzzle’s Pro Tips for Solving Pips

1. Start easy, build up – Warm up with the Easy puzzle before tackling Medium and Hard.
2. Place the singles first – One-square regions are the simplest starting points.
3. Work outward – Use those single regions to anchor nearby edge placements.
4. Spot the repeats – Equal (=) clues often reveal which numbers must appear multiple times.
5. Chain your logic – Each correct tile leads naturally to the next. And remember: you can always undo!
