New York Times releases Pips game hints for June 2026

The New York Times has published detailed hints and solution answers for its online puzzle game Pips for the dates June 29 and June 30, 2026. The game, launched in August 2025, uses domino‑like tiles placed on a grid with color‑coded conditions such as “Number”, “Equal”, “Greater Than”, and “Less Than”. The NYT guides list the required tile configurations for each difficulty level, providing specific vertical or horizontal placements that satisfy each condition.

For June 29 the guide covers easy, medium and hard levels, while the June 30 guide adds additional medium and hard puzzles, each with multiple example solutions. These publications help players progress through the game without having to resort to the in‑game full‑reveal option.
