A fun diversion that is welcome to change the tempo with all the words puzzles that I fight every day. Today’s good little challenge. Let’s go to him!

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 I will walk you through my procedure for a difficult level. Here’s what it looks like before the beginning: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain These are 12 domains we have to do with: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain With such puzzles, I try to be at the hardest or specific condition first. Today it is pink = groups. There are two: 5 tiles needed and one 3. The first step is to find out which dominoes have the most PIPS. For today’s PIPS 4 is most common with 6 total opportunities. No other number can meet this condition. The second very specific situation on this board is an orange 24 group. We know that requires four 6 pips tiles. So I put 4/0 domino in the pink = group, with 0 leaving 0 blue tiles. Then I put 6/5 domino in a group of orange 24 with 5 enters green 5 tiles. As well: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This basis for work, we can start to expand the search. It is not necessary to fill the group at once. You don’t always know what dominoes will still go with those tiles. How much I could say, it would be 3 or 1’s to fill another pink group. However, it seemed that we may need those 3 to complete the purple group and a group of dark blue 4. We also have an additional 1 for work. With this assumption in mind, I set 1/0 domino in the pink = plate in the blue 0 group. Then I filled the rest of the orange group with 6/6 Domino and 6/4 Domino. The latter is filled with one of the purple 13 tiles. How much I could say, it was the only way to fill in a group of oranges, but I still guess with the 1’s pink group. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain With half of the completed board, I felt quite solid about everything. On the basis of the domine I left, I assumed that dark blue 4 groups would probably require 3 and 1, not 2/2 domino. It was mostly because I had to put 4 in the lower pink = group. So I put 4/3 domino in pink = inserted into a dark blue 4. I placed 1/2 domino in purple. Then I put 4/4 domino in pink = and 4/2 domino in pink = and 4/2 domino in the pink tile. As well: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain To this point, I’m still a little worried I might mess with somewhere. But now I was sure it wasn’t the case. I had 6 of the 13 pipes filled with a purple group, so I put 2/2 tiles on the bottom (I bring me to 10/13) and 3/3 tiles on the top, spilled to the open plate. It’s equated 13 and finished the puzzle! Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This was a few intimidated pips grilettes, with so many tiles with all piled together, but there were no tons of different conditions for juggler once more. Have not been <или> tile or group and group. It meant I was fully engaged in total or = and it definitely makes it easier to solve. How did you do?
