Meet Pips: The NYT’s Newest Brain-Bending Domino Challenge

[skylerclooney]

Imagine dominoes turned into a colorful puzzle of logic and pattern. That is what Pips NYT brings to the table. Created by The New York Times Games team, this new challenge invites players to fill a vibrant grid with domino tiles while following special color-coded rules.
Each color represents a different condition. Some areas require all numbers to match, others need every value to be unique, and a few ask for sums that reach a specific total. The goal is simple in theory but surprisingly tricky in practice: place every domino so that all regions meet their conditions.
There is no timer, no losing screen, only the quiet satisfaction of solving through logic and patience. The drag and drop design makes each move feel deliberate and satisfying, whether you are experimenting freely or planning every step.
Pips feels like a fresh mix of logic, math, and creativity that rewards persistence and pattern recognition.
