Nono Blocks Formula is a nonogram logic puzzle game. Use the number clues beside each row and above each column to determine which cells should be dark and which should be crossed out. Each number represents a group of consecutive dark cells. Fill every cell correctly to complete the puzzle. When a row or column matches its clues, the hint numbers turn green. On lower-density levels, the clues may allow more than one possible arrangement. Green means that a row or column fits its clues, but the full grid must still match the puzzle's solution. If all hints are green but the level is not complete, revisit places where more than one arrangement was possible and try a different one. More than 100 levels become progressively more challenging as you advance. Play with simple tap controls on iPhone and iPad, or use a mouse on Mac. Key Features: - Over 100 levels, from beginner to advanced difficulty. - Simple and intuitive controls. - Leaderboards to track your progress and compete with others. - Full VoiceOver support for accessible play. Whether you're new to nonograms or an experienced solver, Nono Blocks Formula offers increasingly challenging logic puzzles as you progress.

Read the numbers. Fill the grid. A picture comes out of it. The numbers beside each row and column count runs of filled squares. Read them, fill what must be filled, cross out what cannot be — and an image rises out of the grid. YOU NEVER HAVE TO GUESS Every puzzle is checked by a solver before you ever see it: if it cannot be finished by logic alone, it is not shipped. That is a property of the puzzle, not a promise in a description. WHY YOU'LL STAY • A new picture every day, the same one for everyone worldwide • Mark the squares you have ruled out — an X is information, not a guess • A streak to protect, and stats that recompute honestly • A free archive: replay any past day from its seed • Hints point at the next real deduction, never at a random square MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE • No timer, no lives, no energy meter • Persian, Arabic and Kurdish numerals on the board itself, not just in the menus • Play in English, German, Arabic, Persian or Kurdish (Sorani) • Proper right-to-left chrome with the board pinned left-to-right, where it belongs • Fully offline. No account, no sign-up FREE, HONESTLY The daily, the archive, streaks and stats are free with light optional ads. Rewarded video is opt-in and only ever buys a hint. No banner ads on the board, ever. One purchase removes ads forever — no subscription, no energy, no timers.
