Pips quickly became my favorite from waking up the puzzle thread of the puzzle games that I solve every day. I think it’s just a good change in tempo with all words of words. Wordle is all about amenities. Ways requires you to discover the words online. Links are all about grouping words. Crossword is about solving hints. The spelling bee is an exercise in frustration while trying to make as many words as possible. On the other hand, Pips is about setting up the dominoes in the form. It is not a mathematical game and is not as visually challenging (or painful) as tiles. I dig it and I’m happy to make it get popularity. Let’s deal with today’s!

How to play pips
In PIPS you have a multicolor box network. Any colored area represents a different “state” you need to achieve. You have a number of Domin’s products that you need to spend charging in the network. You must use each domino and to achieve any condition correctly to win. There are easy, medium and heavy layers.
Here is an example of difficulty tier pipes:

As you can see, the network has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the other hand, three purple squares must not be one of the same equal (hence the equal sign stopped). Two pink squares next to that must be equal to a total of 0. Zig-zeagging blue square must be equal to each other. Click on Domains to rotate them and they will need to rotate to fit where they belong.
Not shown on this network are other conditions, such as “less than” or “higher”. If there are multiple tiles with> or To win, you must use all your domins by filling out all squares, be sure to fit each state. Play today’s puzzles here. Below are solutions for simple and medium plates. After that, I’ll walk you through a difficult puzzle. Spoiler forward. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Let’s make complete hallways of today’s heavy pips. It starts like this: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This looks like a flying plate or car for me. Yesterday was a dog or possibly cat. We’ll call this car. I think it will make it easier for discussion about your pieces. The first thing I noticed about today’s heavy pipes were greatly overall groups. The large pink group almost certainly demanded the four 5th and large Blue 24 groups absolutely demanded all the 6ths. Yes, it is possible to make 20 and 6s and 6 years, but the blue 12 group is right above it and it is a safe assumption that requires two 6s. It’s a total of 6 Domin’s 6-Pip Domines that we have to use absolutely, and you just not have enough left to be in the Pink 20. So this was the assumption I used when I started today’s puzzle. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain I decided to start on the front of the car and fill the hood and most of the front tires. I put 6/2 Domino from Blue 12 in the purple 2 tile and 6/5 Domino in Blue 12 Group in the Pink 20 group. Then I slammed 5/5 domino basically the pink group, as well: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Further, I moved to the back of the car. The hull is the green 6 group and based on the dominas I left, the most likely pieces would be two 3 pipes. Without empty dominoes, I need three squares 1 pip to fill the Pink 3 group and the only second number with enough dominoes to complete the purple = group was 4. So I’m 3/1 dominos from green 6 in a damn blue 1 plate and 3/6 domino from green 6 in blue 24. I put 6/6 domino in the blue 24 and 6/1 domino base 24 in a free plate. I tried 6/1 going to the orange group, but it threw the rest of the puzzle. So that’s where it had to leave: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Only a few Domins remained, moved back in the front of the car and worked in a circle. I put 5/4 domino from the pink 20 to the free plate. Then I set 3/4 free tile tiles in purple =. I put 4/4 domino in the remaining purple = tiles and 1/1 plate in the Pink 3 group. Then I slammed 1/2 domino from the pink 3 down in orange = and 3/2 domino from oranges = into the final free tile. And those are all people! Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This is, in my opinion, much simpler puzzle than yesterday, although I was throwing a little. Until I set that 6/1 tiles properly, I was a little stuck. Everything is fine that, of course, ends well and I have this much faster than the “mushrooms” of PIPS yesterday. How did you do?
