Is the daily pips puzzle free?
Yes. All three of the day's puzzles are free to play in your browser, every day, with no ads and nothing to install.
When do new puzzles arrive?
A fresh set of three lands every day at midnight.
How does the leaderboard work?
The times on the board come from dotio app players competing on the official daily. When you finish all three puzzles here, you'll see exactly where your sweep would have placed among them. To hold a real rank, with live standings, percentiles and friends groups, you need the app.
Is this the full dotio game?
This is the daily taster. The full game is 4,800+ handcrafted puzzles across four difficulties, plus Expert Mode, Ghost Mode, streaks, 45+ achievements, iCloud sync and full offline play. One purchase, no subscription.
Is this the same as NYT Pips?
Same rules, different puzzles. dotio is the best NYT Pips alternative: place dominoes to satisfy the coloured region rules, with exactly one logical solution per puzzle.
Why is the web daily a day behind the app?
Fairness. The app competes live on today's puzzle; the web plays the previous day against its final, locked leaderboard, so nobody can practise a live puzzle before competing.
