At present, if you are facing challenges, the game solely allows the unveiling of the complete puzzle, compelling you to transition to the next level of difficulty and restart. Nevertheless, we’re here to assist you! Below are partial solutions that will act as clues, guiding you through each tier of difficulty.

How to engage with Pips

If you’ve dabbled in dominoes, you’ll have a basic understanding of how Pips is played. As mentioned in our earlier hint articles for Pips, the tiles, similar to dominoes, can be positioned either vertically or horizontally and interconnect. The primary distinction between a classic domino game and Pips is the color-coded requirements you need to fulfill. The adjacent tiles do not necessarily need to correspond.

The requirements you must satisfy are tied to the color-coded zones. For instance, if it indicates a single digit, every edge of a tile in that zone must sum to the specified number. It’s common – and possible – for only part of a tile to reside within a color-coded area.

Here are prevalent scenarios you’ll encounter across varying difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips within this zone must sum up to the given number.

• Equal: Each domino half in this area must display the identical number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this section must showcase distinctly different numbers of pips.

• Less than: Each domino half in this area must total less than the indicated number.

• Greater than: Each domino half in this zone must total more than the specified number.

If a region lacks any color coding, it signifies that there are no restrictions on the domino segments within those areas.
