All three levels solved! Let's walk you through how to solve the New York Times Pips puzzle, not with a computer or phone, but with real dominoes and a paper grid. Starting from an easy puzzle and working up to a hard one, this video gives you clear, visual strategies for solving the game from start to finish. This is the companion video to our first “How to Play Pips” video youtube.com/watch?v=M6qKxjVgcAQ, where we explained the official rules. This time, it’s all about solving.
You’ll learn:
• How to approach each level of difficulty logically
• How to identify key regions and deduce pip values
• Why equal zones, sums, and bracket clues matter
• What dominoes to eliminate and which ones to save
• Chris’s personal strategies for staying efficient and avoiding mistakes
Perfect for Pips fans, puzzle solvers, or anyone who wants to get better at logical deduction puzzles. Whether you’re stuck on the daily NYT Pips or just love tactile, hands-on solving, this walkthrough gives you the visual clarity and reasoning you need.
If you’re new to Pips, make sure to watch our first video to learn the rules. Then come back here and level up your solving game.
