How to play Pips
- Pick Easy, Medium or Hard for today’s puzzle.
- Drag a domino onto the board; tap it to rotate.
- Make each colored region match its rule: a target sum, all pips equal, all different, or above or below a number.
- Regions without a rule can hold anything. Place every domino to finish.
Tips
- Start with regions that allow only one combination, like a single cell that must be 0 or 6.
- A domino can straddle two regions, so think in halves when a region has an odd number of cells.
- Count which pip values are left in your tray; scarce numbers narrow where they can go.
