Forbes and Mashable Roll Out Daily NYT Pips Solutions for Dec. 24–25
Players are turning to third-party guides because the game currently lacks incremental hints.
Overview
- Forbes published day-specific guides for Dec. 24 and a Christmas Day edition on Dec. 25, including step-by-step Hard-tier walkthroughs with tile placements and solving logic.
- Mashable’s Dec. 24 guide lists explicit, tile-by-tile answers across Easy, Medium, and Hard, offering piecemeal help without revealing an entire board at once.
- Pips, released by NYT Games in August 2025, is a single‑player domino-style puzzle built around color‑coded regions that impose equality, inequality, and sum conditions.
- The game features Easy, Medium, and Hard tiers, and some daily boards have unique solutions while others allow multiple valid configurations.
- Both outlets frame their coverage as practical daily assistance, filling a gap created by the in‑app option that reveals only the full solution rather than partial hints.
