Today’s NYT Pips answers for August 23, 2026 are hidden below. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard to inspect the available dominoes before revealing the complete placement.
Pips asks you to cover every square with dominoes while satisfying the rule in each colored region. A region may require equal or different values, a precise sum, or a total above or below a target.
Three puzzles, three solutions

Place with purpose
Good Pips solving combines board geometry with arithmetic. Use constrained regions to reduce possibilities before placing the flexible dominoes.
A small region with a fixed total usually has fewer possible domino values than a broad greater-than or less-than condition.
Dominoes such as 4–4 or 6–6 are especially valuable in equal-value regions and exact even totals.
Before chasing numbers, identify cells that can only be covered horizontally or vertically because of the board’s outline.
If a region clearly needs a high or low pip count, avoid spending the only matching domino somewhere flexible.
One half of a domino may satisfy one region while its other half constrains another. Consider both ends before placing it.
Empty or loosely constrained cells are useful late in the solve because they can absorb dominoes that no longer fit elsewhere.

Good to know
Quick answers about daily difficulties, region rules, hidden solutions, and recent games.
Pips provides three daily puzzles: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each uses a different board, domino set, and collection of region rules.
Regions may require equal values, all different values, an exact sum, or a total greater than or less than a displayed target.
Yes. Each difficulty shows its domino tray and puzzle details first. The completed placement remains hidden until you reveal it.
