We have another very challenging NYT Pips puzzle to solve today, so buckle up and get ready to lay down some dominos. It’s another beautiful Friday in October. Next Friday is Halloween. But who needs treats—or tricks for that matter—when you can solve puzzles? Actually, please pass the chocolate and let’s solve this Pips!

Looking for Thursday’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.
