Pips NYT
About Pips NYT
Pips NYT is a daily visual logic puzzle from The New York Times that challenges players to fill a grid using a given set of dominoes. The game board is a grid of varying sizes, and some of the squares are already marked with a certain number of pips, or dots, ranging from 0 to 6. The goal is to place every domino from a provided set onto the board.
How to Play?
The core rule of Pips NYT is simple: a domino can only be placed on the board if the pips on its two halves match the pips in the two squares it covers. For example, if you have a domino with three pips on one end and two pips on the other (a 3-2 domino), you must find an empty two-square space on the board that has a 3 and a 2 in those respective squares.
The puzzle gets more challenging as you go, requiring careful observation and a lot of spatial reasoning. Since each domino in the set is unique, you must use a process of elimination and deduction to figure out where each piece fits. An incorrect placement early on can make the rest of the puzzle impossible to solve.
A Brain Teaser for Logic Puzzle Fans
Pips NYT is a great choice for anyone who enjoys puzzles like Sudoku or KenKen. It combines simple mechanics with a high degree of logical complexity. The satisfaction comes from correctly placing dominoes one by one, watching the board fill up, and the final piece click into place. It's a satisfying mental workout that can be completed in a few minutes, making it a perfect daily brain teaser.
