Read full description

Nonogram Ultra is Nonogram puzzles the way it should be — clean, calm, and quietly addictive. Reveal the hidden picture by using the number clues along each row and column. Every puzzle has one logical solution, so there's no guessing — just you, the grid, and that satisfying click when it all falls into place. No third-party ads. No pop-ups. No clutter. Just tasteful, well-crafted puzzles. THREE WAYS TO MARK THE BOARD • Fill the cells that make up the picture • Cross Out the cells you know are empty • Maybe — drop a tentative "?" pencil mark when you're not sure yet; it never counts as a mistake Drag to paint several cells at once, undo any step, or spend a hint to reveal one correct cell. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Quick (5×5) — a perfect coffee-break solve • Casual (5×10) — a taller board that's still bite-sized • Standard (10×10) — the classic sweet spot • Expert (10×15) — for when you want a real challenge A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Take on the Daily Challenge and keep your streak alive. The same puzzle for everyone, every day — come back daily to reach 7, 30 and 100-day milestones. 5 SPACE-INSPIRED THEMES Set the mood with Midnight, Nebula, Aurora, Galaxy or Eclipse — each with its own colour palette and a gently animated cosmic backdrop. Light, Dark and System appearance supported throughout. PLAY YOUR WAY • Live scoring rewards speed and precision • Chase Perfect Solves with zero mistakes and no hints • Subtle sound and haptics you can turn off anytime COMPETE & COLLECT • Game Center leaderboards for every mode and the Daily Challenge • Achievements for perfect runs, expert clears, speed solves, daily streaks and night-owl sessions BUILT WITH CARE • Super clean, minimal interface — designed to disappear so the puzzle can shine • Plays fully offline • No third-party ads Whether you've got two minutes or twenty, Nonogram is a tasteful, relaxing little corner of logic to come back to.
