A free daily alternative to NYT Pips

Each day you get a fresh grid split into coloured regions and a tray of dominoes; place them all so that every region satisfies its rule. There is exactly one solution, and you can always reach it by pure logic — no guessing.

How is Domindle different from Pips?
Domindle is an independent puzzle with its own generator, its own dark high-contrast design, and its own extra rule types. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to The New York Times or NYT Pips — it simply scratches the same itch: a small, fair, logically solvable domino puzzle, fresh every day.
