Nonogame

Nonogame is a clean, quiet place to play nonograms (also called picross or griddlers): the logic puzzles where the numbers along the edges tell you which squares to fill, and a picture appears as you solve. THREE PUZZLES A DAY Every day brings a small, a medium, and a large puzzle. They start gentle at the beginning of the week and get harder toward the weekend. Finish all three and the day is done, with your total time and how you compared with everyone else who played. BUILT FOR SOLVING A board that feels like paper. Drag to fill a whole run of squares, switch to cross mode to mark what cannot be filled, and let the app cross out finished lines for you. Turn on confirm mode to pencil in a guess before you commit. Hints when you are stuck, mistakes shown if you want them, and haptics and sound you can turn off. Full support for iPad, including Apple Pencil hover. STREAKS AND FRIENDS Keep a streak for each size and for the day as a whole. Add friends to see who finished today and who was fastest. Twice a week, the Brain Teaser sets one big puzzle for everyone to race. ACHIEVEMENTS More than a hundred achievements to chase, from your first solve to the long streaks. MAKE IT YOURS Four themes, light and dark modes, and seven colours for the app icon. A home screen widget shows today's puzzles and your streak, and Siri shortcuts open the puzzle you ask for. PLAY ANYWHERE Your progress lives in your Nonogame account, so you can pick up on the website exactly where you left off. No account is needed to play the daily puzzles. NONOGAME PLUS Members also get the Archive of every past day, curated Collections to play in any order, and Endless mode for as many puzzles as you like. Subscribe in the app, monthly or yearly.
