Rather solve it yourself?

Three hints per level, the last one placing the second domino.

Easy

The easy board runs 4 rows by 5 columns: 5 dominoes to place across 7 regions. The mix is 2 sum regions, 1 "all equal", 1 "greater than", 3 free regions. Another early foothold: 3 cells from row 2, column 3 must show the same number, and it turns out to be 4. Keep in mind that two cells at row 3, column 5 total 5. Rack check: 2 doubles, 1 blank half.

Hint 1: where to start

The single cell at row 3, column 3 is marked 5, so it can only hold a 5. Find the domino with a 5 that fits there.

Hint 2: first domino

Place the 0–5 domino with its 0 at row 3, column 2 and its 5 at row 3, column 3.

Hint 3: second domino

Then put the 4–4 across row 2, column 2 and row 2, column 3; 3 dominoes to go.

Medium

Medium is 8 regions on a 3×6 grid, filled by 7 dominoes. The mix is 3 sum regions, 2 "all equal", 1 "less than", 2 "greater than". Another early foothold: under 2 in total at row 2, column 1? Zeros, plus at most one 1. Keep in mind that the "=" pair at row 3, column 5 needs two identical pips. Rack check: 2 doubles, 3 blank halves, 1 six.

Hint 1: where to start

Row 2, column 4 is a region of its own with target 2: that cell is a 2. Find the domino with a 2 that fits there.

Hint 2: first domino

Place the 2–2 domino with its 2 at row 2, column 3 and its 2 at row 2, column 4.

Hint 3: second domino

Then put the 0–5 across row 2, column 1 and row 2, column 2; 5 dominoes to go.

Hard

16 dominoes, 32 regions, a 6×6 grid: that's the hard puzzle for November 7, 2026. The mix is 31 sum regions, 1 free region. Another early foothold: a one-cell region at row 1, column 2 asks for 2, which fixes that cell outright. Keep in mind that row 1, column 3 is a region of its own with target 5: that cell is a 5. Rack check: 5 blank halves, 1 six.

Hint 1: where to start

The single cell at row 1, column 1 is marked 4, so it can only hold a 4. Find the domino with a 4 that fits there.

Hint 2: first domino

Place the 2–4 domino with its 2 at row 1, column 2 and its 4 at row 1, column 1.

Hint 3: second domino

Then put the 0–5 across row 1, column 4 and row 1, column 3; 14 dominoes to go.
