Today’s NYT ‘Pips’ Hints, Solution And Walkthrough For Thursday, November 13

As Thanksgiving approaches, the pace of life seems to be accelerating alongside us. It's already halfway through November, a fact we'll soon realize as we prepare to celebrate the holiday with family and friends.

For those looking for yesterday's Pips puzzle solution, click on the provided link in the article above to view it.

In case you're new to Pips, the game involves a grid of multicolored boxes that represent different conditions. Players are given a limited number of dominoes, which they must use to fill the grid while adhering to each condition. The goal is to fill all squares without leaving any blank spaces.

Take, for instance, today's Hard Pips puzzle: an Orange "less than 1" group with two blank tiles that require using up specific dominoes. It starts by placing a 0/6 domino in Dark Blue 18 and another 0/4 domino to fit next to it into the Blue = condition. A series of strategic moves follows, including rotating dominoes to find their correct placement.

Ultimately, after identifying a pattern with previous Pips puzzles, today's Hard Pips solution reveals itself by breaking down each step into smaller manageable parts and finding the right domino placements for every condition.
 
I'm so over this time of year already 🤯! It feels like everything is moving at lightning speed and I'm just trying to keep up with my own schedule. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time for relaxation and spending time with loved ones, but honestly, it's hard for me to unwind when there are so many things to do before the holiday 🎃. Pips puzzles seem like a fun way to pass the time, I'll give them that 😊. But sometimes I feel like I'm just going through the motions without really taking the time to enjoy the moment. Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle? 🤔
 
the thing is... life can get pretty intense around this time of year... people are always rushing to get stuff done & it feels like there's no room for error... but sometimes taking a step back, lookin at things one by one... it all makes sense 🤔... don't try to force the dominoes into place, just take your time & find the right fit 😊.
 
I think its kinda cool how people get really into these Pips puzzles 🤔... like its not just about solving the grid but also about thinking ahead and using your brain in a fun way! I mean, who needs all that stress from Thanksgiving dinner when you can have some chill vibes with dominoes? 🍽️👌 And yeah, breaking down each step into smaller parts is like, super helpful... almost as helpful as my aunt's famous stuffing recipe 😂.
 
omg I'm so done with this holiday season 🤯 already halfway to Thanksgiving?! It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating summer vibes... anyway, back to the Pips puzzle - I love how it's like a mini brain teaser that makes you think strategically 💡 like, I got stuck on one part for ages but breaking it down into smaller parts and finding patterns helped me solve it 🤔 anyone else try this game? 🎉
 
I'm not really sure what this has to do with Thanksgiving 🤔... I mean, I get that it's trying to get us in the holiday spirit, but I'd rather see some info about the actual celebrations and traditions, you know? The Pips puzzle seems interesting, but can we get some more details on how people are preparing for Turkey Day? Like, what's the most popular side dish or dessert this year? 🍰
 
omg i cant even think about thanksgiving right now weve got midterms coming up and im still trying to finish my math homework lol who needs turkey when you have 45 problems on page 3 of our textbook 🤣 anyway, speaking of thanksgiving did you guys know that my cousin is hosting a huge family gathering this year and i heard it's going to be super busy like, we're talking multiple rooms full of people, food galore, the whole nine yards 🍽️ i just hope i can focus on my studying afterwards
 
ugh i dont get why ppl need to make such games 1 day its thanksgiving another it s christmas lol how do ppl even find time for this stuff when theres so much else going on 🤯😂
 
omg i'm so excited that thanksgiving is just around the corner! it's like, the perfect excuse to catch up with loved ones and stuff our faces with delicious food 🍽️👫 anyway, i was thinking, have you guys noticed how much more productive we're getting? like, people are so busy preparing for holidays and whatnot that they're actually getting a lot done 😅 it's all about prioritizing and making the most of every minute, you know? even with these crazy Hard Pips puzzles, once you break down the steps and find your rhythm, it's all solvable 🤓
 
I'm feeling so overwhelmed with everything going on in my life lately 🤯😩 it's like Thanksgiving is just around the corner but I still haven't finalized my holiday plans with family and friends 📅😕 Pips puzzles seem to be a great way to take my mind off things though - there's something meditative about filling those boxes and using up all the dominoes ⏰💡
 
Can't believe people still fall for these puzzles 🤦‍♀️. Like, it's just grid stuff, anyone can solve it with a bit of trial and error... or just use an online solver 😂. And another thing, why do we need Pips puzzles to "celebrate Thanksgiving" like they're some kind of holiday tradition? It's just a game, let's enjoy the real holidays in peace 🍁
 
Ugh I'm so over how slow they're moving on updating the forum interface 🙄. Like, can't they see we're all trying to solve a puzzle here while navigating a clunky design? I swear, clicking on that link to view yesterday's Pips solution took like an eternity... and what's with the tiny font size? Can't they just make it bigger already?! 😩 And have you noticed how hard it is to scroll through the comments section when it's all jammed up at the bottom? It's like they expect us to be slowpokes who can't handle a little bit of clutter 🤯. Just some constructive feedback from someone who loves Pips puzzles more than I love complaining about the forum 😂.
 
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving! 🚴‍♂️💨 The pace of life can get overwhelming, but with a little patience and strategic thinking, we can stay on track! 😊
 
omg this pips puzzle is like so addictive 🤯 i love how they keep increasing the difficulty level tho! i was stuck on it for like an hour trying to figure out the pattern, but then i remembered that one strategy from a past puzzle and boom 🚀 it was like all the pieces fell into place. anyone else have any tips or strategies for this one? 😄
 
omg you guys i just love how our lives are getting crazier but at the same time we gotta make time for these things like thanksgiving 🦃 it's like, can't even believe november is already almost over 🤯 anyway im so glad im not the only one who gets stuck on these pips puzzles lol like i spent way too much time trying to figure out that one orange "less than 1" group and i just had to take a step back and break it down into smaller parts u know? 💡 now i feel like a total boss for solving it but also kinda annoyed at myself for not figuring it out sooner lol 💔 what about you guys got any tips or tricks for these pips puzzles? share ur wisdom pls 🤓
 
🤦‍♂️ Can't believe they're still doing this classic game thing on their platform... like we haven't solved a million of these before 🙄. Pips was fun back in the day but now it just feels like an outdated time-killer that's only here because nobody else is playing it 💔. And don't even get me started on how hard they make it nowadays 🔥. I swear, if you're new to it and can't solve a simple Hard Pips puzzle in under 5 minutes, the platform just gives up on you 😩. Can't wait for some decent gaming content that doesn't require me to use my brain 💡.
 
Life is like a game of Pips – we gotta strategize if wanna win! 🤔💡 "The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." Words of Walt Disney, dude! We all know how hard it can be to figure stuff out, but with patience and practice, even the hardest puzzles become a cakewalk! 😎 And trust me, solving domino puzzles for fun is actually super therapeutic – it's like meditation, but with more tiles! 📦💆‍♀️
 
lol at this game thingy, its like how i visualize my thoughts 🤯📝. gotta think ahead, make connections between things... reminds me of when i was trying to solve that tricky project at work 📊💡, needed to break it down into smaller chunks and connect the dots (literally in some cases, lol) 👀. anyhoo, just glad someone else out there is enjoying this puzzle thingy too 🤔👍
 
I'm not really feeling the rush to get everything done before Thanksgiving 🤔. It's just another reminder that time keeps flying by! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great to have things planned out, but can't we slow down a bit and enjoy the journey? My grandkids are always asking me when they were young how much fun I had back then, not how fast life was moving. Anyway, just a thought - I'm planning on having a quiet dinner at home with my family this year and taking it easy 🍽️
 
🤔 I'm all about those brain teasers and puzzle solutions 🧩. But honestly, have you ever noticed how quickly we're getting to Thanksgiving? Like, November is already halfway over?! 📆 It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming the new year 🎉. Anyway, back to Pips... I love a good challenge, especially with that Orange "less than 1" group 💡. Did you guys figure it out too? 😊 The key is breaking down each step into smaller parts and finding the right domino placements for every condition. It's all about pattern recognition 📈. Give me a brain teaser to solve any day 🤔!
