Playnono vs Stitchery

Pause. Think. Solve. Playnono is a picross — a nonogram, if that's what you grew up calling it. Numbers along each row and column tell you which squares to fill. There's only ever one solution, and when you find it, a small picture appears. The puzzles are all hand-drawn. Someone designed each one and solved it to make sure it holds together, so you get a real picture at the end instead of random noise. They range from quick 5×5 grids to large, intricate ones, with new puzzles added regularly. LEADERBOARDS Solve a puzzle without peeking and your time goes on its board. Look at the solution and you're out for that run, so the times at the top are earned. See where you land the moment you finish. CREATE YOUR OWN Draw a puzzle in the editor, confirm it has a single solution, and publish it for everyone else to play. HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT Auto-mark clears a line once your squares match its clues. Misplace one and you get a beat to catch it before it's flagged. Nothing hands you the answer. MADE TO BE CALM A warm cream background, one terracotta accent, and type that's easy to sit with. Pinch to zoom on bigger grids, and drag along a row or column to fill it in a single motion. Sign in to sync across your devices, or just play. Either way, your progress is saved between sessions. The short version of what you won't find here: no ads, no trackers, no upsells, no streak guilt, and nothing behind a paywall. The library is free, and we don't sell or share your data (full details at playnono.app/privacy). Made by Marius Bocanu. Found a bug or have an idea? marius@playnono.app

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.
