Guides Deliver NYT Pips Solutions for April 28 and a Fresh April 29 Hard Walkthrough

These step-by-step aids help players avoid the game’s all-or-nothing reveal that forces a restart.

Overview

Forbes published a walkthrough for the April 29 Hard Pips that treats the board like an equation and shows how to place doubles to reach the required totals.
Following an earlier guide for April 28, Forbes detailed the Hard board’s logic, noted it was especially tough, and broke the solve into clear, forced moves.
Mashable posted piecemeal answers for April 28 that list exact domino placements for Easy, Medium, and Hard, including tile numbers and orientations.
Pips plays like solo dominoes on a color-coded grid where each area sets a rule such as equal, not equal, a target sum, or less-than/greater-than limits, and every domino must be used.
Both outlets fill a hint gap because Pips only lets stuck players reveal the entire board, so these partial clues and reasoning steps help people recover without starting over.
