Looking for Tuesday<\/em>\u2019s Pips? <\/em>Read our guide right here<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different \u201ccondition\u201d that you have to achieve. You have a select number of dominoes that you have to spend filling in the grid. You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win. There are Easy, Medium and Difficult tiers.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s an example of a difficult tier Pips:<\/p>\n Pips example<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n As you can see, the grid has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the far left, the three purple squares must not equal one another (hence the equal sign crossed out). The two pink squares next to that must equal a total of 0. The zig-zagging blue squares all must equal one another. You click on dominoes to rotate them, and will need to since they have to be rotated to fit where they belong. <\/p>\n Not shown on this grid are other conditions, such as \u201cless than\u201d or \u201cgreater than.\u201d If there are multiple tiles with > or < signs, the total of those tiles must be greater or less than the listed number. It varies by grid. Blank spaces can have anything. The various possible conditions are:<\/p>\n In order to win, you have to use up all your dominoes by filling in all the squares, making sure to fit each condition. Sometimes there\u2019s only one way to solve the puzzle. Other times, there can be two or more different solutions. Play today\u2019s Pips puzzle here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below are the solutions for the Easy and Medium tier Pips. After that, I\u2019ll walk you through the Hard puzzle. Spoilers ahead.<\/p>\n Easy Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Medium Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n Here\u2019s today\u2019s Hard Pips:<\/em><\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Today\u2019s Hard Pips looks like a mama elephant and her baby elephant. The baby is a \u2260 group, but if you solve the mama elephant correctly, this should be easy enough. The best place to start is the Dark Blue 0 group, because we only have four blanks and we\u2019ll need three right there.<\/p>\n Place the 0\/1 domino from Dark Blue 0 into Pink 2 and the 0\/2 domino from Dark Blue 0 into Orange =. The 0\/4 domino goes from Dark Blue 0 down into Purple = and the 1\/6 domino goes from Orange 1 down into Green 12.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Place the 2\/2 domino in the next two Orange = tiles and the 2\/3 domino up from Orange = into Blue 7. The 1\/4 domino goes from Pink 2 into Blue 7.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Place the 6\/6 domino in Purple 12 and the 6\/4 domino from Green 12 over into Purple =. The 5\/5 domino goes below that in the left two Pink = tiles and the 5\/4 domino goes up from Pink = into Purple =.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Place the 0\/3 domino from Blue 0 into Green > 2 then place the 6\/2, 3\/4, and 5\/1 dominoes into Dark Blue \u2260 in whatever order you like. You\u2019re done!<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n I tried starting on the left side of this Pips originally and kept getting a bit lost, so I cleared the board and focused on figuring out which blank dominoes made sense filling up Dark Blue 0 and that did the trick. <\/p>\n How\u2019d you do on today\u2019s Pips?<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, or Facebook<\/a>.
