What is Pips Game?

After some simple but brain-blowing rules, organize all the pips correctly in the grid.

It is simple to learn, but the deeper you go, the more addictive it becomes.

Are you ready to dive? How to play Pips Game by The New York Times in some stages here:

1. Understand the Grid

The game gives you a square or rectangular grid, which is divided into small cells. These are your play zones. Groups of dice pips will also be seen in the puzzle, which you should keep in the grid correctly.

2. Know the Rules

Each group of dots represents a full-dying face (1 through 1).
You should place each die face in this way:
- No dye face repeats in any line or column.
- Each group of connected pips dies a valid (eg, dies with five pips, not five dice with a pipe).
Pips should connect orthogonally (no diagonal).

3. Start Solving

Use logic where each dye fits on the face board. For example, if you see five pips in a row, you can assume that it represents a dying face with five. You will start eliminating impossible options and narrow the correct placement.

4. Complete the puzzle

Once all the pips are kept correctly and the grid rules are satisfied - boom! You have solved the puzzle.
Each puzzle resets daily, every time you play a new challenge.
