Norinori
Shade two per region so every shaded cell forms a domino.
How to play Norinori
The grid is split into bold outlined regions. Your job is to shade exactly two cells inside every region. On top of that, each shaded cell must be joined to exactly one other shaded cell — so all the shaded cells break down cleanly into dominoes of two. A domino can straddle the border between two regions, so the two shaded cells of a region do not have to be next to each other. Click a cell to shade or unshade it, use the mode button to mark cells you want to keep empty, and Hint if you get stuck. Race your best time.

Norinori — frequently asked questions
How many cells do I shade per region?
Exactly two in every region — never one, never three. Getting the count right in each region is the core of the puzzle.
What is the domino rule?
Every shaded cell must touch exactly one other shaded cell orthogonally, so shaded cells always come in connected pairs (dominoes). A shaded cell touching zero or two other shaded cells is illegal.
Can a domino cross a region border?
Yes. A domino may span two different regions, so a region’s two shaded cells are sometimes each half of a different cross-border domino.
Is every level solvable by logic?
Yes. Each Norinori level here is solver-verified to have exactly one solution, so you can always reason your way to the answer without guessing.
Is Norinori free to play?
Yes — Norinori is completely free on Inkplay, with no download, no sign-up, and no in-game purchases. Open the page and play instantly on desktop or mobile.
