I wouldn’t blame you one bit if you were struggling with today’s NYT Pips puzzle. Both the Medium and Hard tiers really challenged me today, though it’s entirely possible that was my own brain being dysfunctional! The latest game in the NYT Games app is currently my favorite. The visual logic element is a nice change of pace from word games and I love all the observation and planning that goes into solving all three tiers each day. Let’s lay some dominoes!
Looking for Tuesday’s Pips? Read our guide right here.
In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different “condition” that you have to achieve. You have a select number of dominoes that you have to spend filling in the grid. You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win. There are Easy, Medium and Difficult tiers.
