Pips Answers Archive
TodayHint archives all three NYT Pips boards — easy, medium and hard — once they have finished being the current ones anywhere on Earth, so each entry below ships in full: every domino, every region rule and the complete walkthrough for all three difficulties. Each date opens that day's complete write-up, built from the boards' own domino trays and region constraints rather than a guess at how they were solved.
A date only earns a page here once its boards have stopped being "the current puzzle" in every time zone on the planet — roughly a day and a half after the print date — so nothing here is speculation about an unpublished board. Once a page exists it never changes: the dominoes, the region rules and the recap are exactly what shipped that day. A date missing from the list below either still has boards current somewhere in the world or hasn't finished processing yet — check back within a day or two.
63 days' boards archived so far, from Thursday, July 9, 2026 through Wednesday, September 9, 2026. Pick a date for its dominoes, region rules and full walkthroughs.
