About Nonogram

Nonogram — also known as Picross or Griddlers — is a logic puzzle where number clues reveal a hidden picture. Each number tells you how many consecutive cells to fill in that line.

Three board sizes await, from a relaxing 5x5 to a challenging 15x15. Every puzzle is freshly generated, so there's always a new picture to uncover.

Completed lines fade out so you always know your progress at a glance. Your fastest solve time is saved separately for each board size.

Tips & Strategy

Start with lines whose clue total nearly fills the whole row or column — those give you cells you can fill in for certain.
Mark cells you're sure are empty with an X right away; completed lines fade out, so you can track progress and focus on what's left.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the row and column numbers mean?

Each number is the length of a run of consecutive filled cells in that line. When there are several numbers, there's at least one empty cell between each run.

Is there a faster way to fill cells?

Instead of tapping cells one by one, drag your finger or mouse across them to fill several at once. Tap again to erase.

Why should I use the X marks?

Switching to X mode lets you mark cells you know must stay empty, which prevents mistakes. Clearly separating filled from empty cells makes the logic much easier.
