Pips is a domino logic puzzle from The New York Times. Drag dominoes to cover the grid and satisfy each colored region rule. Cover all valid cells and meet all rules to win.
- Drag to place; each domino covers two adjacent cells (no diagonals).
- Tap a domino in the pool to rotate 90°; dragging uses current orientation.
- Instant checks highlight conflicts; use Undo/Redo freely.
- Switch Easy/Medium/Hard anytime; clear to restart.

EQUAL (=)
All half-cells in the region must have the same value. Tip: for 2-cell regions, a double (e.g., 3|3) often fits.
ALL DIFFERENT (≠)
All half-cells in the region must be pairwise different (no repeats).
SUM = n
The sum of values in the region must equal n (e.g., =7).
SUM < n / SUM > n
The sum must be less/greater than n (e.g., <4 / >10).
Single-cell + number ≡ ‘this cell must be that number’. Each region has exactly one badge; rules do not stack.
Cells without a rule badge (NONE) are not outlined with dashed borders and accept any value.
- Start with certainties: single-number cells and 2-cell ‘=’.
- Lock in ‘=’ regions early to reduce branches; doubles help.
- Work sums/inequalities next; prune overshoot/undershoot combos.
- Tackle ‘≠’ later when conflicts are easier to spot.
- Use Undo/Redo to explore branches without fear.
