About this game

Nonogram — also known as Picross or Griddlers — is a picture logic puzzle you solve with numbers alone. The clues beside each row and above each column tell you the lengths of the filled runs in that line, in order; from those numbers, and pure deduction, you work out exactly which squares are part of the picture and which are blank. Mark the blanks with an X to keep your reasoning straight, and the hidden image slowly appears as you go. There's no guessing required: every puzzle here is generated to have a single solution reachable by logic, so a careful reader can always crack it. Play the Daily puzzle — the same one for everyone, with a solve timer, a streak for consecutive days, and a shareable result — or jump into Free play for endless fresh puzzles at three sizes from a gentle 5×5 up to a meaty 15×15. Tap to fill, drag to paint a run, and switch to the X tool to rule squares out. It plays with a mouse or a finger on any screen, with nothing to install.

Controls

Tap a square to fill it; drag to paint several in a row or column.

Switch the tool to X (or right-click) to mark squares you've ruled out as blank.
Row clues are on the left, column clues on top.

How to play

Each number clue gives the length of a run of filled squares in that row or column, listed in order, with at least one blank between runs.

Deducing

Combine the row and column clues to deduce which squares must be filled and which must be blank — mark blanks with an X to track your logic.
Fill exactly the squares the clues describe to reveal the picture and solve the puzzle.
Every puzzle has a unique, guess-free solution.
