Nonograms, also known as Paint by Numbers, Picross, Griddlers, Pic-a-Pix, Hanjie, and various other names, are picture Logic puzzle in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture. *** Rule *** In this puzzle type, the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive sets. *** Features *** ● Hand crafted beautiful pixel arts ● There are various topics to have fun with ● Using hint can help you in difficult time ● Easy controls, either using drag or d-pad ● Mindfulness, relaxing music ● Playing session is saved/resumed automatically ● Don’t forget to using Mark (X) to solve the puzzle easier *** Strategy *** Simpler puzzles can usually be solved by a reasoning on a single row only (or a single column) at each given time, to determine as many boxes and spaces on that row as possible. Then trying another row (or column), until there are no rows that contain undetermined cells. Some more difficult puzzles may also require several types of "what if?" reasoning that include more than one row (or column). This works on searching for contradictions: When a cell cannot be a box, because some other cell would produce an error, it will definitely be a space. And vice versa. Advanced solvers are sometimes able to search even deeper than into the first "what if?" reasoning. It takes, however, a lot of time to get some progress. ## Key features - Hand-crafted pixel art puzzles - Diverse topics and themes - Hint system for assistance - Intuitive drag or d-pad controls - Relaxing music and mindfulness - Automatic save/resume functionality - Marking (X) feature for easier solving ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Remove Ads | $2.99 | one-time | | Remove Ads | $2.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Nonogram Life?

Still waiting! *2026-05-31, version 1.8.14* Still waiting for level 100 in the animals puzzle pack to be fixed. It been almost a year! ### 1/5 — Israeli propaganda *2026-05-10, version 1.8.14* I immediately uninstalled it once i saw it included israel into its fun fact. Disgusting. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-03-14, version 1.8.14* I like this game and level so beautiful ### 4/5 — Amazing but… *2026-03-04, version 1.8.14* I love this game… adore it…. I play literally every night to go to sleep. HOWEVER, there is one single level that black screens the game every time I try to click it. It’s the jellyfish level on the animals section. I’ve competed the rest but the jellyfish I am heartbroken… ### 5/5 — Enjoyable overall *2026-02-08, version 1.8.14* The hypostomus is glitched where it’s stuck on a black screen ### 2/5 — No hints *2025-09-02, version 1.8.14* If you run out of hints you have the option to watch an add. But it doesn’t work. Tharp stays on add page and there isn’t a way to get back to the game. If you close app and reload the game there still iarent hints. Frustrating and needs to be fixed. ### 5/5 — It’s good but… *2025-08-28, version 1.8.14* I know this game is fun and there are endless levels to play with but can you fix one problem? In the animals selection when I get to the hundredth puzzle it’s just a black screen, so I suggest you should fix it, it’s still good by the way ### 5/5 — 100% *2025-08-11, version 1.8.14* I completed the whole game and I miss it already. It has no in app purchases and short ads after each puzzle but if you turn off your internet it’s just straight puzzles ### 4/5 — Well done *2025-07-21, version 1.8.14* A fun Nonogram with lots of levels, progression in difficulty is very steady, keeps the game relaxing and challenging at the same time. ### 5/5 — Please add more levels *2025-07-21, version 1.8.14* This game I’ve very relaxing to play. I loved playing it while watching tv in the evenings. The only downside is, I’ve finished all the levels. Developers please add more levels. ## Frequently asked questions about Nonogram Life ### What is Nonogram Life?
