Domino enthusiasts faced⁢ a moderately challenging “Pips” ⁤puzzle from The New York Times today, requiring strategic placement to complete the car-shaped grid. The puzzle, released Tuesday, September 9th, tested ⁣players’ spatial reasoning and numerical deduction skills.

The solution, detailed by puzzle solver Erik Kain on Forbes, began with strategically placing the 6/2 domino into the Purple 2 tile and the 6/5 domino ⁣into the Pink 20 group, followed by the 5/5 domino‍ at the base⁤ of Pink ‌20. ⁢Progressing to the car’s trunk (Green 6 ⁣group), the solver utilized 3-pip and 1-pip dominoes ‍to fill the pink 3 and purple = groups respectively. Key moves ⁣included placing the 3/1 domino into Dark Blue 1 and the 3/6 domino into Blue 24,⁢ alongside ‍the 6/6 domino at the base of Blue ⁤24 and the 6/1 domino into ⁤a free tile – a placement initially‌ attempted in the Orange ≠ group.

The final stages ‌involved ⁢completing the‍ front of the car with dominoes like the 5/4, 3/4, 4/4, ⁣and 1/1, ⁤before finishing with the 1/2 and 3/2 dominoes in the Pink 3 ⁣and final free ⁤tile, respectively. Kain noted the Orange ≠ group presented a slight challenge,⁢ but ultimately found the puzzle simpler than the previous day’s iteration.
