What is the Pips Archive?

The Pips Archive is built for players who remember a date, missed a daily puzzle, or want to replay a specific Pips challenge originally published by The New York Times. Pick a calendar date, choose a difficulty, and jump straight back into that board.

Archive entries are organized by date and difficulty, so you can move through past puzzles without searching through scattered answer pages or unrelated hints.

How to Use the Pips Archive

Choose a date from the archive picker, select Easy, Medium, or Hard, then press Load. If the selected difficulty is available for that day, the puzzle loads directly into the same playable board experience.

Use Previous Date and Next Date when you want to browse the collected archive in order. Dates are based on New York Times Pips puzzle data collected by Pips2.

Pips Archive FAQ

What Is The NYT Pips Archive?

The NYT Pips Archive on Pips2 is an independent, date-based collection of past Pips puzzles originally published by The New York Times. Pips2 is not affiliated with The New York Times. To play the current official puzzle, visit The New York Times Games Pips page. Use this archive when you want to replay a puzzle from a specific day instead of loading a random board.

How Do I Find A Past Pips Puzzle?

Choose a date in the archive picker, select Easy, Medium, or Hard, then press Load. The board will load the collected puzzle for that date and difficulty when it is available.

Can I Switch Difficulty In The Archive?

Yes. Archive puzzles are organized by date and difficulty, so you can switch between Easy, Medium, and Hard for the selected day.

Why Is A Date Missing?

A date may be unavailable if no New York Times Pips puzzle has been collected for that day. The archive only loads puzzle data that exists in the Pips2 collection.

Can I Play New Pips Puzzles Besides The Archive?

Yes. If you want fresh puzzles instead of past archive boards, go to the Pips2 homepage to play Pips Unlimited with no daily limit.

Do Archived Pips Puzzles Have Hints?

Yes. You can visit Pips Hints to find hints for past Pips puzzles when you need help solving a board.
