Nonogram โ€” also known as Picross, Griddlers or pixel puzzle โ€” is a clean, elegant pixel logic puzzle game. Decode the hidden pixel art from the number clues on each row and column, and enjoy the moment when pure logic reveals the picture. No math, no guessing, no luck. Just deduction, one cell at a time. WHAT IS A NONOGRAM? Nonogram (Picross, Griddlers, "picture cross") originated in Japan. The numbers on each row and column tell you the lengths and order of consecutive filled cells. By logical deduction alone you gradually reveal a beautiful piece of pixel art. SIX DIFFICULTIES, FROM BEGINNER TO MASTER - Easy 5ร—5: jump right in, no experience needed - Medium 10ร—10: get a taste of logical deduction - Hard 15ร—15: put your observation skills to the test - Expert 20ร—20: every move requires careful thought - Master 30ร—30: built for the ultimate puzzle enthusiast CAMPAIGN MODE Six hand-crafted chapters with 120 levels to conquer. Earn a star rating on every level, race against your best time, and collect all 140 achievements. OPEN PLAY Randomly generated original puzzles โ€” every session is a fresh challenge. Pick your size and difficulty and play a round whenever you like. CREATE MODE Draw pixel art freely and turn it into a playable nonogram in one tap. Export and share your puzzles with friends. ZEN MODE One tap hides the timer and the mistake count and keeps progress separately, so you can focus purely on solving. REPLAY After you clear a puzzle, replay your own solving process step by step. Pause anytime, or watch it again from the start. POLISHED DETAILS - Smooth pinch-zoom and drag, even on 30ร—30 grids - Fill and mark modes, so your reasoning stays clear - Undo, hints, combo effects and haptic feedback - Apple Pencil support on iPad: set the pencil to fill while your fingers pan and zoom - Day and night themes, easy on the eyes after dark - Portrait and landscape, play anywhere CLEAN EXPERIENCE Play offline, no account required, no ads.
