For Oct. 12 Pips, Forbes and Mashable Publish Full Solutions as Players Seek Incremental Hints

Forbes posts a detailed Hard walkthrough, responding to players who want hints the app does not provide.

Overview

Mashable released date-specific placements for the Easy, Medium, and Hard Pips puzzles, offering piecemeal guidance without revealing the full boards.
Forbes published Easy and Medium solutions and a step-by-step Hard walkthrough that begins by anchoring the Purple '=' group with the 4/4 double.
Example placements highlighted include Easy Greater Than (2) solved with 3–2 horizontally and Medium Greater Than (5) solved with 6–2 horizontally.
Both guides emphasize Pips’ color-coded constraint mechanics, where groups enforce equal, not-equal, greater-than, less-than, or fixed-number conditions.
Coverage notes the NYT in-app help still reveals entire solutions in one go, sustaining demand for external, incremental hints.
