Welcome to your guide for Pips, the latest game from the New York Times, released in August 2025. This unique twist on dominoes offers a fresh, single-player experience. While the game currently only provides full puzzle reveals, we're here to help with piecemeal hints to guide you through each difficulty level.

For the easy difficulty, if a space is marked "Equal (2)," the answer is 2-2 placed horizontally, or 2-4 placed vertically. With "Equal (4)," the answers are 3-4 (horizontal), 2-4 (vertical), or 4-6 (horizontal). When the condition is "Greater Than (4)," the answer is 4-6 (horizontal). For the "Number (7)" condition, the solution is 3-4 (horizontal), or 4-0 (horizontal). If the condition is "Less Than (2)," the answer is 4-0 (horizontal).

Moving on to medium difficulty, for "Less Than (2)," the answer is 1-0 (vertical). With the "Number (6)" condition, the answers are 2-4 (horizontal), or 2-2 (vertical). The "Equal (2)" condition yields 2-4 (horizontal), or 2-0 (horizontal). For "Number (4)," the solutions are 1-0 (vertical), or 4-3 (vertical). When the condition is "Less Than (2)," the answer is 0-5 (horizontal). For "Greater Than (7)," the answers are 0-5 (horizontal), or 1-5 (vertical).

The hard difficulty presents its own set of challenges. For "Number (5)," the answer is 5-2 (vertical). When the condition is "Greater Than (1)," the answer is 6-1 (vertical). With "Greater Than (4)," the solution is 5-5 (vertical). For "Number (6)," the answers are 5-2 (vertical), or 4-4 (vertical). Again, for "Greater Than (4)," the answer is 5-5 (vertical). The "Less Than (5)" condition leads to an answer of 4-4 (vertical).
