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.
