NYT Pips hints, answers for September 11, 2026
The New York Times' latest game, Pips, brings domino fun to your desktop. How to play Pips as well as hints in case you get stuck.
Welcome to your guide for answering Pips, the latest New York Times game released in August 2025. Although the game is akin to dominoes, it introduces color-coded conditions that tiles must adhere to. Here, we offer hints for each difficulty level to help you conquer the game.
For the easy level, if a space is numbered, all tiles within must sum to that number. A horizontal pair with tiles 3 and 4 satisfies the Number (3) condition, as does a vertical pair of 1 and 2 meeting the Less Than (3) condition. Medium difficulty presents a Number (6) scenario where a horizontal pair totaling 6 is required (3-3), and an Equal (5) requirement, where a horizontal 4-5 and a vertical 5-2 meet the criteria.
Hard difficulty hints include a Number (9) condition (3-3 vertically, 6-0 vertically) and a Less Than (3) rule, necessitating a vertical 0-2. With these hints, you should be well on your way to mastering Pips!
