Domino Yajilin
Domino Yajilin is a variation of the classic Yajilin puzzle, introduced by Grant Fikes in 2011. Like the original, it combines arrow clues and loop-drawing logic, but with an additional twist: the black cells form domino-shaped pairs, introducing new constraints and strategic considerations.
This variation requires solvers to balance traditional Yajilin deduction with the domino placement rules, creating a fresh layer of logical complexity. By integrating the familiar loop-building mechanics with the additional domino constraints, Domino Yajilin offers an engaging challenge that both honors the original puzzle and expands its possibilities.

Rules
Shade some cells black and then draw a single non-intersecting loop through all white cells. Black cells should form a set of dominoes which cannot share an edge with each other, but can touch grey and arrow cells. Cells that contain clues or shaded grey are not part of the loop. Numbered arrows in such cells indicate the number of cells shaded black in that direction in the grid.
