How to play Dippy

Dippy is a daily physics puzzle about breakfast. Dippy the boiled egg starts on a shelf, a spoon or a ledge, and the egg cup is somewhere below. The table is frozen while you draw: every line of ink sets solid exactly where you put it. Press Let go and watch Dippy roll, bounce and slide for real.

Gently does it. A long drop or a hard knock cracks an egg, so draw slopes to slow the fall, or aim for a knitted tea cosy or a wobbly jelly for a soft landing. Butter is slippery, jam is sticky and you cannot draw on a tea towel. A line you start on a brass drawing pin swings on it like an arm, which is perfect for giving Dippy a nudge.

Use less ink for more stars. The daily breakfast gives everyone the same table and three pours; your best pour counts on the leaderboard. Sixty more levels in five chapters are there whenever you fancy another.

Dippy FAQ

How long does it take?

A minute or two for the daily. The levels go from gentle to fiendish.

Can my score be faked?

No. The server replays your drawing with the same physics, so a score is only ever what really happened.

Can I play more than once a day?

You get three pours at the daily breakfast. After that you can replay it unranked, play past days from the calendar, or work through the levels.
