Pips: When Simple Pieces Create Complex Thinking

Pips NYT introduces a fresh style of puzzle play built around traditional domino tiles placed on a board divided into colorful sections. Each part of the grid has its own goal, whether it involves matching values, ensuring every tile is different, or calculating totals that fall within a specific requirement.
The puzzle begins gently, but as more pieces settle into place, the challenge deepens. A single move can solve one region while creating a new problem somewhere else, pushing players to trace their reasoning across the entire board.
What makes Pips stand out is how clearly it rewards thought, planning, and the willingness to rework decisions until everything fits. It is engaging without being overwhelming, and each finished board brings the quiet satisfaction of solving a clever pattern one decision at a time.
