Each grid shows the pip value placed on every cell of the solved board, coloured by region.
How to solve Pips
Drag dominoes from the tray onto the board. A domino covers two adjacent cells and can be rotated. Regions are outlined and labelled with their constraint, for example "12" (pips in this region add up to 12), "=" (all pips equal) or "<3" (total less than 3). The puzzle is complete when every domino is placed and every region is satisfied.

Pips tips for tomorrow
- Start where the numbers force you. A one-cell region with a sum target must contain exactly that pip value. Place those first.
- Count the big sums. A region of three cells that must total 15 or more needs high pips. Reserve your sixes for it.
- Use the unequal and equal rules. Equal regions tell you which domino halves must match; unequal regions rule out doubles.
