NYT Pips Hints Today For September 24: If you’ve ever played dominoes, the tiles may look familiar but here’s the twist: the tiles don’t have to match. Instead, Pips uses color-coded rules that make every move interesting and tricky. As Mashable notes, it feels easy enough to start but challenging enough to stay hooked.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the rules:
Number: The pips in the space must add up to the number shown
Equal: All domino halves in the space must have the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Each domino half in the space must have a different number of pips.
Less Than: The total pips in the space should be less than the number shown.
Greater Than: The total pips must be more than the number shown.
For September 24, we’ve arranged all the hints and answers in a clear format for Easy, Medium, and Hard levels, including the orientation of each domino (horizontal or vertical).
