Conquering Today’s Pips Grid: A July 12th Challenge
Here at WordFinder Tips, we’re always ready for the daily Pips puzzle, but man, that abundance of ‘sum 0’ regions in today’s hard Pips grid almost ended my streak! Rodolfo Kurchan really packed the board with those tricky spots, making you think twice about every single domino placement.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you see so many single-cell regions, especially when they’re all demanding a zero. Don’t worry if you found yourself scratching your head; this July 12th Pips puzzle was a real brain-teaser, and you’re not alone if you needed a little nudge!

📖 How to Play NYT Pips
🎯 The Goal of the Game
Place all given dominoes onto the grid so that every region’s strict mathematical condition is met. Every day brings a new layout and domino set.
➕ Understanding Region Symbols
- Number: The sum of all pips inside this region must equal this exact target number.
- < (Less Than): The total pips must be strictly less than the target number.
- > (Greater Than): The total pips must be strictly greater than the target number.
- = (Equals): All individual cells in this region must have the exact same pip value.
- ≠ (Unequal): No two cells in this region can share the same pip value.
🔲 Empty Regions & Placement Rules
Regions without any symbol or target are “Empty” regions. The sum of pips inside these specific regions MUST be exactly 0 (meaning only blank halves of dominoes can be placed here). Remember, dominoes can be rotated, but they cannot overlap or hang outside the grid.
