## What is Nonogram Picross?

Solve the squares. Reveal the picture.

Pictolo is a cozy nonogram — also known as Picross, Griddlers, Hanjie, Pic-a-Pix, Japanese Crossword or Paint by Numbers. Every puzzle hides a little piece of pixel art. Read the numbers along each row and column, work out which squares to fill, and watch the picture bloom into colour when you finish.

NEVER A LUCKY GUESS
Every single puzzle is verified to have exactly one solution, reachable by logic alone. No 50/50 coin flips, no trial and error, no dead ends. If you are stuck, there is always a next move waiting to be found — that is a promise the game checks automatically before any puzzle ships.

358 HAND-DRAWN PUZZLES
Thirty themed chapters, drawn by hand rather than churned out by a generator. Start with gentle 5×5 warm-ups and work up to chewy 20×20 challenges through Little Things, Garden, Carnival, Café, Forest, Ocean, Pets, Space, Music, Game Day, Wanderlust, Harvest, Winter, City Lights, Mythic, Arcade, Movie Night, Monster Mash, Heroes, Total Rewind, Dino Dig, Deep Jungle, Bug Hunt, High Seas, Ancient Sands, Bot Works, Toy Box, Northlands, Clockwork and Wild West.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
A fresh daily picture cross each morning, a streak to keep alive, and streak freezes for the days when life gets in the way. Fill in your monthly badge calendar for a bonus.

COLLECT WHAT YOU SOLVE
Finished pictures go up in your gallery in gold frames. Complete a whole chapter and earn a reward. Your collection grows into a small museum of everything you have figured out.

BUILT TO BE COMFORTABLE
• Drag to paint whole runs of squares at once
• Rows and columns cross themselves off as you solve
• Hints, undo, and a forgiving hearts system
• Combo multipliers and stars for clean solves
• Full dark mode for late-night solving
• Works completely offline — no account, no sign-up
• English, Español, Français, Deutsch, 日本語

GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN, EASY ON YOUR EYES
Nonograms are a genuine logic workout: deduction, pattern spotting and a bit of patience. Pictolo wraps that in warm paper, soft ink and a palette designed for long sessions. No timers shouting at you, no lives that lock you out for hours. Play a five-minute daily or lose an afternoon to a 20×20 — both are fine.

If you enjoy picture cross, logic art, pixel puzzles, Japanese crosswords, paint-by-number games, sudoku, crosswords or any kind of brain teaser, Pictolo will feel like home.

Free to play, with optional coin packs and a one-time Remove Ads purchase.
