Overview

  • Forbes shared a detailed Difficult-tier approach that starts by placing blanks in green zero-value tiles and assigns the five available 1-pip halves to complete a five-square blue equality group.
  • Mashable posted condition-by-condition hints and full answers for Easy, Medium, and Hard on August 27, while FandomWire provided step-by-step tile placements for the same date.
  • Guides emphasize working from tightly constrained regions to unlock the board, such as fixed totals, equality groups, and zero-sum zones.
  • Pips’ current help option reveals the entire solution rather than offering incremental hints, sustaining daily demand for external guides.
  • Launched in August 2025 by NYT Games, the domino-like logic title continues to draw regular coverage and player interest with its daily puzzles.
