NYT Offers Suggestions and Solutions for September 5, 2025
In August 2025, New York Times Games unveiled a fresh addition to their catalogue - a single-player game called Pips. This innovative take on dominoes, officially launched on August 18, was developed in-house by the company's editors, setting it apart from computer-generated games.
Pips brings a unique twist to traditional dominoes, with colour-coded spaces that come with specific conditions for players to meet. The tiles, which can be placed either vertically or horizontally, connect with each other, but the colour-coded conditions make the game more challenging and exciting.
One of the conditions in Pips is the Number condition, where a space requires all tiles to add up to a given number. For instance, a space with the Number (5) condition requires all tiles to add up to 5, with the answer being 4-5 horizontally. Similarly, a space with the Number (6) condition, whether purple or otherwise, requires all tiles to add up to 6, with answers varying between 1-5 vertically and 1-4 horizontally, 2-2 vertically and 4-3 vertically, or 0-6 horizontally and 6-6 horizontally.
Another condition is the Equal condition, where all tiles must equal a specific number. For example, a light blue space with the Equal (5) condition requires all tiles to equal 5, with answers being 1-5 vertically, 5-4 horizontally, 5-5 vertically, and 5-0 horizontally. There are also spaces that require all tiles to equal 3, such as a light blue space with the Equal (3) condition, which can be answered by 5-2 horizontally, 2-3 horizontally, and 3-3 vertically, or another light blue space with the Equal (3) condition that can be answered by 3-3 vertically.
There are also conditions like Not Equal, where all tiles must be different. An example of this is a space with the Not Equal condition, which can be answered by 5-2 horizontally and 1-3 horizontally. Additionally, there are conditions like Less than and Greater than, but for the sake of brevity, we will focus on the Number and Equal conditions in this article.
On the Easy difficulty level, the hints and answers for September 5, 2025, include the Number (2) condition for a light blue space, which requires all tiles to add up to 2, with answers being 1-3 horizontally and 2-1 horizontally. There's also the Equal (4) condition for a space, which requires all tiles to equal 4, with answers being 1-4 horizontally, 5-4 horizontally, and 4-0 horizontally.
For the Medium difficulty level on the same day, the Equal (4) condition applies to a space that requires all tiles to add up to 4, with answers being 4-4 horizontally, 4-2 vertically, and 4-5 horizontally. There's also a Number (18) condition for a space that requires all tiles to add up to 18, with answers being 0-6 horizontally and 6-6 horizontally.
In Pips, there are areas without any colour coding, which means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces. Moreover, the touching tiles don't necessarily have to match, making the game even more intriguing.
So, if you're looking for a challenging and engaging game that offers a unique twist on dominoes, give Pips a try!
