Complete guide
Norinori uses the independently implemented Nikoli Norinori rules v1 profile (R364). Norinori is a complete deterministic browser game built around exactly two shaded cells in every region while all shaded cells across the board must belong to orthogonally adjacent domino pairs.
Norinori begins with an unnumbered grid divided into regions, each of which must ultimately contribute two black cells. The Norinori deal identity and Nikoli Norinori rules v1 are stored together. Restarting Norinori reproduces this opening exactly.
During Norinori, you shade or clear cells and mark exclusions while checking each region count and whether black cells can form disjoint adjacent pairs. The Norinori engine rejects profile violations, unavailable material, and every action attempted after Norinori reaches a terminal result.
You complete Norinori when every region contains two black cells and every black cell has exactly one orthogonally adjacent black partner. The full Norinori position determines the outcome; visual shortcuts never replace the documented Norinori terminal rule. In the Norinori endgame, match the last unmatched black candidate across a boundary and confirm it creates no chain of three shaded cells. Check every remaining Norinori action before committing because its terminal rule is enforced immediately.
A reliable Norinori plan is to identify cells whose only possible partner lies across a region boundary and use completed dominoes to exclude their other neighbours. A Norinori hint is legal and deterministic. The next Norinori hint exposes one bounded action; it never claims a forced Norinori win. A costly Norinori mistake is to assume the two black cells of a region must touch each other; a domino may pair cells belonging to different regions. Undo supports studying that Norinori decision, while restart preserves the original seeded Norinori opening.
Norinori uses exactly two shaded cells in every region while all shaded cells across the board must belong to orthogonally adjacent domino pairs. That rule belongs to the Norinori engine and storage identity rather than a cosmetic preset.
Each black cell belongs to one orthogonal pair, but the two required black cells inside a region need not form that pair together.
Norinori records its game ID, rules version, and seeded deal identity. Those Norinori values recreate the same opening without a server request.
