How to use this Pips helper

1

Choose a puzzle

Select the date and difficulty you are solving. The board, Pips hints, regions, and ledger update together.

2

Use each hint as a nudge

Read the first Next Logic item first. Open the other items when you want the reason behind each suggestion.

3

Build the board

Drag a domino onto two adjacent cells. Click a tile to rotate it, or click a placed tile to remove it.

4

Check your finish

When every domino is placed and the board is complete, the helper locks the board.

Detailed usage guide

1. Start with the puzzle controls

Pick the same date and difficulty you are playing. If you switch puzzles, your helper board and saved work follow that selection.

2. Read the Pips hint before moving tiles

Next Logic shows the best place to look next. Use the short line when you only want a small nudge, or expand the card for the why and conclusion.

3. Place only what you can justify

Rotate dominoes in the tray, drag them onto the board, and let the helper update the region status after each move. Undo is there when a branch does not work.

4. Use the analysis panel when stuck

Regions shows candidate combinations, Ledger tracks remaining pip values, and Branches lets you test one assumption at a time.

5. Finish with confidence

Some placements may satisfy part of the board while the puzzle still needs work. Keep using the hints and region feedback until every domino is placed and the puzzle complete state appears.
