Overview

• Mashable published date‑specific answers for the September 16 Pips across Easy, Medium, and Hard, listing exact tile placements for each colored condition.
• Forbes offered a detailed Difficult‑tier walkthrough on September 16, explaining solver reasoning around equals groups, tile counts, and number constraints.
• The daily pattern continued from September 15, when Mashable and Hindustan Times posted full solutions for all three tiers of that day’s puzzles.
• Pips, launched in August 2025 by NYT Games, adapts domino tiles to a color‑coded grid that enforces rules such as equal, not equal, greater/less, and target totals.
• External guides have become routine because requesting assistance in the game currently triggers a full solution reveal rather than incremental hints.
