Key Features • 10,000+ levels: from beginner to veteran, content for long‑term play • Single solution and fully tested: every level is rigorously validated for consistent, unambiguous logic • Auto‑mark completed numbers: when a row or column satisfies its clues, remaining cells are auto‑marked to reduce routine actions and keep focus on deduction • Daily Challenge: new puzzle every day; calendar view and backfill supported to maintain streak momentum • Legendary Challenge: extra‑large boards (45+ x 45+) for long‑form deduction and ultimate reveals • Graduated difficulty curve: Beginner / Normal / Hard / Expert / Master, improve step by step • Auto save in play: progress is saved during gameplay; no loss when switching or offline • iCloud sync: Automatically sync game progress across devices, seamless switching between iPhone and iPad • Play offline: enjoy most content without an internet connection Controls & Assist • Fast Fill/Mark switching: tuned for Nonogram feel to reduce mis‑taps and keep the flow • Big‑board optimizations: cursor input, board panning, and multi‑level zoom for precise moves on large grids • Smart helpers: optional pre‑marking to speed early scanning; auto‑marking on completed rows/columns for smoother late game • Smart Hint: Intelligent hint system that automatically analyzes the current board and suggests the next logical move to help you overcome challenges • Clear clue states: row/column clues update in real time, making deduction paths obvious • Advanced options (optional): ignore continuous taps once a clue segment is satisfied to prevent overfilling; auto‑complete "simple" rows/columns at the start of a new game to jump into real deduction faster Daily Challenge • The day's puzzle unlocks on schedule; future dates stay locked to prevent spoilers • Completion state and play count are tracked; monthly progress is easy to see • Missed a day? Replay past puzzles to keep your rhythm and sense of streak Why This Nonogram • Pure logic, zero guesswork: every step follows from the clues • Large boards that still feel great: mobile‑first interactions and visualization • Massive, high‑quality content: 10,000+ levels, single solution, auto‑marking for long‑term fun Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
