Overview

What is the Pips answer archive?

This is the complete record of every solved The New York Times Pips puzzle we have covered. Each entry lists the full Easy, Medium and Hard boards with the exact domino placement — so you can check yesterday’s, catch up on the week, or look back to any date.

How to use it

Use the links above to jump between Yesterday, This week and the full archive by year. Answer pages reveal the whole board, so if you only want a nudge for a puzzle you are still playing, head to today’s hints or the hint archive instead.

A quick tip

Comparing your board against ours is a good way to learn: look at where the forced doubles and overlap cells landed, and you will start spotting the same patterns on future puzzles.

FAQ

How far back does the archive go?
To the first board we published. Browse by year above, then drill down to any single day.
Are all three difficulties included?
Yes — every dated entry gives the Easy, Medium and Hard solutions, each with the finished board drawn out.
What if I only want a hint, not the answer?
Use today’s hints for the current puzzle, or the hint archive for older days — both keep the full board hidden until you ask.
Are the solutions verified?
Yes. Each board is solved by our own constraint solver and then re-checked against every region rule and the domino tray before it is published.
