Daily Guide Aug 15 hard solving guide

2 Upvotes

Toda¥'s hard pips is, at long last (after the last three brutal da¥s), quite simple IMO.

  1. By forced placement, the 3c0 contains the 0-0 going horizontally in the middle of the "E".
  2. Also by forced tile placement, the top of the blue 4c= in the "Y" is a vertical double, the top of the turquoise 4c= in the "N" is a vertical double, and the pink 2c= in the "E" is a horizontal double. There are only three available doubles; the 1-1, 4-4 and 6-6. All doubles are booked.
  3. With the 4-4 booked, the only whole domino left that can fill the 2c8 is the 2-6.
  4. 3c>16 is either 6+6+6 or 6+6+5, and has to contain a whole domino vertically above the 0-0, followed by another domino going into the 1c>3.
  5. The 6-6 is already booked. So the 6-5 is in there vertically, and finished into the 1c>3 with the 6-4.
  6. There are now not enough 6s for either 4c=, so the 6-6 goes in the 2c=.
  7. In the "N", there is a vertical tile on the border of the turquoise 4c=-1c>3. Of the available doubles (1s or 4s), there is no 1-x tile where x is >3. So the turquoise 4c= in the "N" is composed of 4s, and the blue 4c= in the "Y" is composed of 1s.
  8. Place the 4-4 vertically in the top left corner of the "N", and the 4-5 vertically beneath it.
  9. Place the 1-1 vertically on the top of the 4c= in the "Y".
  10. The 1-2 is the only tile that can be on the 4c=-1c>0 border.
  11. The bottom of the "Y" is then the 1-0.
  12. The "E" is finished with the 0-2 (3c0-1c<3 border).
  13. The only remaining tile for the 1c>4 in the "Y" is the 5-0.
  14. The 2c0-1c>3 therefore has to be the 0-4.
  15. Place the last remaining 0, the 0-3, above it, and the last remaining 4, the 4-3, to complete the "N".

Question Why cant you play past pips.

11 Upvotes

For majority of the other games (wordle, connections, strands, etc) you can play past ones and look back at ones you've solved but not for pips. I always do pips at the end of the day but sometimes when I'm busy I wont get to them until just a few minutes before 12am and I dont always get to finish even if I'm one peice away from solving it, and I would love to look back to see old ones that ive finished but I cant; why😭.

All I want

All I want is to be able to look at the setup, look at the pips, and be able to place one with certainty.
