The New York Times features Pips NYT, a basic logic puzzle game. In this game, you place “pips” (dots) in a grid to meet numeric limitations across rows and columns. The game combines nuance and brainpower to provide everyday strategic challenges.
Puzzles have grids and constraints, such as how many pips per row or column. To satisfy those parameters, consider critically and arrange your pips accurately. Finishing each grid precisely with minimum mistakes is the goal.
