Stitchery is a cozy color nonogram (Picross) puzzle wrapped in the warm world of cross-stitch embroidery. Read the numbers, stitch the right cells, and watch a little pixel picture bloom into a finished embroidered piece — mounted in a wooden hoop, ready to admire. Pure logic, no guessing. Every puzzle has exactly one solution you can reason out step by step. Relaxing, satisfying, and just the right size for a coffee break. HOW TO PLAY • The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many stitches to make. • A gap between numbers (like "1 1") means a gap between stitches — one, skip, one. • Pick a thread color, then tap or swipe to stitch the cells you're sure about. • Colors matter: each clue is tinted like the thread, so multi-color pictures stay clear. • Mark cells you know stay empty, and tap the needle for a hint when you're stuck. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • 120+ hand-crafted puzzles across Easy, Medium and Hard — all verified single-solution. • Gorgeous cross-stitch look: × stitches on woven fabric, framed in a real embroidery hoop. • Win close-up: every finished piece is mounted in a hoop — your little masterpiece. • A gallery to collect every picture you've stitched. • Soothing music and gentle stitch sounds. Play with sound on or off. • A friendly interactive tutorial teaches you the rules in a minute. • Global star leaderboard — pick a nickname and climb the ranks. • Free to play. No ads. Just you, the thread, and one more piece. Grab a hoop and start stitching.
