Easy entries are listed first, followed by the available Medium transcription and a step-by-step Hard walkthrough. The Medium clue printed as “Greater Than (34)” is preserved as reported because the available text does not establish whether it should read 3 or 34.
How NYT Pips works
Place every domino so it fills the board and satisfies the condition shown for each colored region. Conditions can require equal or unequal values, a value above or below a threshold, an exact total or value, or no condition. The Forbes walkthrough describes the objective this way: “You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win.”

Medium: available transcription and a clue to verify
The visible guide excerpt reports the following conditions and placements:
| Condition | Reported domino placements |
|---|---|
| Equal (0) | 0–0 horizontally; 0–1 vertically |
| Less Than (3) | 2–3 horizontally |
| Number (3) | 1–1 horizontally; 0–1 vertically |
| Greater Than (34) | 6–4 horizontally |
| Equal (4) | 4–4 horizontally; 6–4 horizontally |
The “Greater Than (34)” label may be an extraction or formatting error, but the available text does not confirm the intended clue. It is therefore left unchanged rather than silently corrected. The excerpt also does not expose the full board, so these entries should not be treated as a complete Medium solution. Source: Mashable Team’s October 29, 2025 guide, syndicated via Yahoo Tech.

Hard: walkthrough in placement order
For Hard, Forbes contributor Erik Kain describes three 9-total groups, a 6 region, several smaller total groups, two less-than areas and an equality group. His initial deduction assigns the 9 totals as 6+3, 5+4 and 3+3+3, while avoiding 6s or 3s in the Blue 6 region. Follow the domino moves in this order:

- Move 5/1 from Pink 7 into Purple <3, then put 2/4 in the central free cell.
Kain says he believes Hard has a unique solution, while explicitly allowing that he could be wrong; uniqueness is his assessment, not an independently established property. See his October 28, 2025 Forbes walkthrough.
