Here are the archived NYT Pips solutions for Sunday, April 5, 2026, with separate Easy, Medium, and Hard boards. If you want to solve the puzzles yourself, start with the hints below and stop before the spoiler section.
How to approach the April 5 boards
Pips is a domino-placement puzzle: fill every board square while meeting the pip-value rule in each colored region. Rules include regions that require an exact total, matching values, or values below a stated limit; dominoes can be rotated to fit the board and satisfy adjoining regions. See the NYT Pips game to play.
A practical opening move is to look for a tightly constrained region, such as a single square with an exact value. The answer archive points to these starting cells:
- Easy: top-left single-cell region, exact 4.
- Medium: middle-left single-cell region, exact 3.
- Hard: bottom-left single-cell region, exact 3.
Coordinates in the solutions count rows and columns from the top-left, beginning at 1. Each domino is shown in the order reported by the answer archive, followed by its two cells.
