Games like Pips: daily domino and placement puzzles

Start with Domino Fit. It is also a domino tiling puzzle with numbers: you cover the board with two kinds of domino so that every row and column adds up to its target, in three daily sizes. The Special Daily Dominosa turns the idea around: the numbers are already on the grid, and you work out where each domino from a full set must lie, using every pair exactly once. Daily Norinori is a shading puzzle whose shaded cells form separate dominoes, a good next step if you enjoy the spatial side of Pips more than the sums.

If the region rules are what you like, sum puzzles are the closest relatives. Dodeku from Fox Point Games has you place number tiles so every line hits its sum, Cagey gives a daily grid of arithmetic cages with a leaderboard, and the daily Killer Sudoku and Kakuro grids are the classic forms of the same reasoning. Pipcross from Puzzmallow swaps dominoes for dice: you place dice so their pips match nonogram-style run clues.

For the pleasure of fitting pieces, Daydoku asks you to cover a calendar board so that only today's date is left showing, and Birds Organized Neatly packs hand-drawn birds of every shape into a grid each day.

Like Pips, most of these come in more than one size or difficulty, so you can start small. Pips itself has three puzzles a day; Domino Fit and Daydoku both offer several boards, which makes them the easiest to slot into the same routine.
