Overview
What is the Pips hint archive?
This is every The New York Times Pips board we have covered, kept in the same spoiler-safe format as today’s page. Each dated entry gives you a nudge for the Easy, Medium and Hard grid, with the finished board hidden behind one more click.
How to use it
Pick a date from the table, or drop into a year page to go further back. If you only want the finished board, the answers section shows it without the extra step.
FAQ
How far back does the hint archive go?
To the first board we published. Recent days are listed above; everything older is reachable through the year pages.
Do archived hints still hide the answer?
Yes. Archived days work exactly like today’s page: a nudge first, the finished board behind a separate reveal.
What if I want the answer straight away?
Use the answers section instead — those pages show the finished boards with no clicks needed.
