NYT Pips Game Help for June 1, 2026

Welcome to the guide for Pips, a new game from the New York Times.

Pips is a fun game that is like dominoes, but with a twist, and it was released in August 2025.

If you get stuck, the game will show you the whole puzzle, but we can help you with smaller hints to get through each level.

If you have played dominoes before, you will know how to play Pips, but there are some differences, like color-coded spaces that have special rules.

In these spaces, you have to follow certain rules, like making sure the numbers on the tiles add up to a certain number.

Here are some examples of the rules you will see in the game:

Number: All the dots on the tiles in this space must add up to the given number.

Equal: All the halves of the tiles in this space must have the same number of dots.

Not Equal: All the halves of the tiles in this space must have a different number of dots.

Less than: All the halves of the tiles in this space must add up to less than the given number.

Greater than: All the halves of the tiles in this space must add up to more than the given number.

If a space does not have any color coding, it means there are no special rules for the tiles in that space.
