Pips Unlimited

Drag each domino from the tray onto two touching cells, or tap a domino and then the two cells, until every cell is covered. Each outlined region shows a rule in its corner: a number is the total of its pips, = means every pip is the same, ≠ means no two match, and a less-than or greater-than sign sets a limit. When every rule holds the puzzle is solved and the timer stops. If you are stuck, Hint puts one domino where it belongs.

Something else. The Dles is an independent site. We wrote this version ourselves and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times, which publishes the original daily Pips.

On the original game, as NBC Bay Area and Tom’s Guide describe it, = means every domino half in the region shows the same number of pips, ≠ means no two halves may match, a plain number means the pips in the region add up to it, and a less-than or greater-than sign means the total must be below or above the number shown. This version uses the same region rules.

The New York Times launched Pips on August 18, 2025, as reported by TechRadar and NBC Bay Area.

The daily Pips comes in three levels, Easy, Medium and Hard, according to TechRadar and AOL. Here you can play all three as often as you like: Easy boards have 8 cells, Medium 14 and Hard 20. Pick a level in the toolbar and press Next puzzle for another board.

Yes. When you solve a board, Copy result gives you a short text with a link that ends in ?p= and the puzzle number. Anyone who opens the link gets the same board.
