Nonogram Game Guide

📖 About

Nonogram (also known as Picross or Griddlers) is a picture logic puzzle that combines deduction with creativity! Use the number clues along the rows and columns to determine which cells to fill. When solved correctly, a hidden pixel art picture emerges. This satisfying blend of logic and art has made Nonogram a beloved puzzle genre worldwide, offering both relaxation and mental challenge.

🎯 Objectives

Fill in the correct cells based on the number clues to reveal a hidden pixel art image. Use logical deduction—each number represents a consecutive group of filled cells in that row or column.

🎮 How to Play

Numbers indicate consecutive filled cells in that row/column. Multiple numbers mean separate groups with at least one empty cell between them. Click to fill or X to mark empty cells.

⌨️ Controls

Left-click to fill a cell, right-click (or shift+click) to mark it as empty with an X. Click and drag to fill or mark multiple cells.

⚙️ Game Mechanics

  • Numbers on the left indicate filled cell groups for each row
  • Numbers on top indicate filled cell groups for each column
  • Groups must appear in the order shown (left-to-right, top-to-bottom)
  • At least one empty cell separates groups
  • Complete all rows and columns to reveal the picture

💡 Tips

  • Start with the largest numbers that nearly fill a row/column

  • Mark definitely empty cells with X to help visualize
  • Cross-reference between rows and columns

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I read the number clues?
Each number tells you the size of a consecutive group of filled cells. '3 2' means a group of 3, at least one empty cell, then a group of 2. They appear in that order.
What's the best starting strategy?
Look for rows or columns with large numbers. If a '10' appears in a 15-cell row, the middle 5 cells must be filled regardless of position.
What if I make a mistake?
Use the undo feature or click a filled cell again to clear it. The auto-check feature can highlight errors.
Are puzzles always solvable with logic?
Yes! Well-designed Nonograms can be solved purely through logical deduction without guessing. Look for rows/columns where clues force specific cells.
