New York Times Pips game features color-coded domino puzzles

Pips is a single-player domino-style game released by the New York Times in August 2025. The game utilizes color-coded conditions that players must satisfy by placing tiles vertically or horizontally.

Gameplay conditions include specific requirements such as ‘Number’, where pips must add up to a set value; ‘Equal’ or ‘Not Equal’ for matching or differing pips; and ‘Less than’ or ‘Greater than’ constraints. If a space lacks color coding, no specific conditions apply to the tiles within that area.
