The end of the month of May approaches ever so quickly, though it\u2019s a long 31-day month, so we have another full weekend ahead of us before June arrives. Still time to finish up your May projects, in other words. And plenty of time to solve today\u2019s Easy, Medium and Hard Pips! Shall we?<\/p>\n
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 Another boxy, single-tile grid for today\u2019s Hard Pips. These are always trial-and-error puzzles, though you can usually find a reasonable starting point, even if you have to make some guesses and adjust as you go. We have two doubles today, so I started with those. My hunch was that they\u2019d each go in a corner, and this hunch proved correct.<\/p>\n Start with the 4\/4 domino in the top left corner from Purple 4 to Pink 4. The 3\/4 domino goes next to that from Blue 3 to Orange 4, then the 3\/3 domino in the top right corner from Dark Blue 3 to Green 3. The 3\/1 domino goes below that, from Purple 3 into Pink 1 and the 6\/4 domino goes from Green 6 down into Purple 4.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The 2\/4 domino goes from Dark Blue 2 in the middle down into Green 4. Next, we\u2019ll move to the left of the board and place the 2\/1 domino from Blue 2 up into Pink 1. The 5\/0 domino lays horizontally from Blue 5 into Orange 0 and the 2\/3 domino goes directly below that, from Orange 2 into Dark Blue 3. Finally, place the 1\/0 domino from Orange 1 at the bottom over into Dark Blue 0.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Place the 4\/1 domino above that from Purple 4 over into Green 1 and the 2\/0 domino from Dark Blue 2 down into Blue 0. The 5\/4 domino goes from Orange 5 down into the first free tile. The 6\/2 domino goes from Pink 6 on the right lower corner, over into the second free tile. Last, but not least, the 3\/5 domino goes from Green 3 into the third and final free tile. <\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n This was a fun challenge (as was today\u2019s Medium Pips) though not nearly as hard as some of these grid-style Hard Pips can be! <\/p>\n How\u2019d you do on today\u2019s Pips?<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, or Facebook<\/a>.
