About Pips NYT
Pips NYT brings a fresh twist to logic puzzles, created by The New York Times Games team. This visually simple yet deeply clever game challenges players with domino-style tiles and region-specific rules. Released on August 18, 2025, it invites puzzle enthusiasts into a mindful, strategy-driven experience akin to popular NYT classics like Wordle and Connections.
Every board introduces distinct conditions—from mismatched numbers to specific sums—that demand careful thinking and attention to detail. Whether you’re a casual player or a veteran puzzler, Pips NYT offers something truly unique.
How To Play
In Pips, your goal is to place domino-style tiles on a grid while adhering to the specific rules of each region:
- Numbers must not match.
- Tile sums must meet the target.
- One number must be larger than the other.
Rotate, adjust, and experiment until every condition is satisfied. With no time limits, you can tackle each puzzle at your own pace and pause to revisit it whenever needed. It's a game about clever planning rather than racing the clock.
What's New
Pips NYT has set itself apart by introducing handcrafted puzzles refreshed daily. From quick 5-tile challenges to elaborate 16-tile grids, there's always something new to tackle. Plus, with three difficulty levels, players of all skill ranges can enjoy a tailored challenge.
Controls
Pips NYT offers simple, intuitive controls:
- Tap to select or place domino tiles.
- Drag to position tiles on the grid.
- Rotate tiles as needed to solve the puzzle.
Playable directly on HeyGames via the NYT Games app (iOS & Android) or web platform, you’ll have endless entertaining moments at your fingertips.
