If you were hoping for yet another New York Times game to satisfy your word-puzzling itch, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Pips, the latest addition to The New York Times' growing games corral, is a word-free, domino-filled exercise in entertainment and occasional frustration.
Pips, which was launched on Monday (August 18) online and iOS and Android, is a departure from the global phenomenon Wordle and its cousin games, Connections and Strands (as well as competitors like Quordle). It has no letters, no word jumbles, or even topic-driven associations.
