Looking for yesterday’s Pips solutions? Here are the complete answers for the NYT Pips puzzle from April 10, 2026, covering Easy, Medium, and Hard boards.
Yesterday’s Easy Pips Answer (April 10)
A compact board with 5 dominoes. The corner-first approach worked cleanly here — place 6-value pieces into the “>” region first, then let the “=” constraint lock the rest.
- Position the 6|0 domino vertically in the first column (purple + pink).
- Set 2|6 in the last column (orange + dark blue).
- Place 0|5 horizontally in the second row (pink + light blue).
- Set 3|2 in the third row (white + orange).
- Finish with 0|2 in the fourth row (light blue + orange).
Yesterday’s Medium Pips Answer (April 10)
A 4×5 grid with 7 dominoes. The “>4” and “=” constraints defined the borders; the “<2” region in the center was the trickiest part.
- Place 5|6 in the first column (purple + orange).
- Set 0|2 below it (dark blue + white).
- Position 3|6 in the second column (purple + orange).
- Set 6|4 in the same column (orange + green).
- Place 3|4 horizontally in the first row (purple + white).
- Set 4|4 vertically in the third column (green boxes).
- Finish with 6|2 in the last column (white + light blue).
Yesterday’s Hard Pips Answer (April 10)
The standout puzzle — a dense grid with layered equality, sum, and “≠” constraints. Corner-first was essential.
- Place 5|5 vertically in the first column (purple boxes at top).
- Set 6|3 below it (purple + green).
- Position 2|6 further down (green + pink).
- Set 5|1 horizontally in the first row (purple + pink).
- Place 3|4 in the same row (pink + light blue).
- Set 4|0 in the last column (light blue + dark blue).
- Position 0|0 below it (dark blue + purple).
- Place 1|1 in the third column (purple + light blue).
- Set 1|3 horizontally in the third row (orange boxes).
- Place 3|2 in the fifth row (purple boxes).
- Finish the last row: 6|3 (pink + light blue), 6|6 (purple + orange), and 4|5 above (purple boxes).
