Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue. Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
