Nonogram Logic Puzzles Reveal hidden pictures one deduction at a time. LogiSketch is a beautifully crafted nonogram app (aka Picross, Griddlers, Hanjie, and Paint by Numbers) built for players who love pure logic, from your very first puzzle to brain-bending marathons. START FREE The Starter gallery is free the moment you install. When you want more, buy just the galleries you like, from $0.99 each, or unlock them all with the Museum Membership. No subscriptions: own what you buy, forever. MASSIVE LIBRARY, FROM TINY TO GIGANTIC Start with quick, bite-sized grids and work your way up to sprawling, gigantic puzzles that unfold like real artwork. With thousands of hand-curated puzzles across dozens of themed galleries, you will never run out of challenges. Whether you have two minutes or two hours, there is always a perfect puzzle waiting. NO ADS. EVER. We hate interruptions as much as you do. LogiSketch has zero ads: no banners, no pop-ups, no timers begging you to watch a video. Share your galleries with your family, too. PLAY ANYWHERE, NO WIFI REQUIRED Because there are no ads to load, LogiSketch works completely offline. Solve on a plane, on the subway, in the mountains, or anywhere with no signal. Your puzzles and progress are always right there, ready when you are. TRUE DIFFICULTY, RATED THE RIGHT WAY Most nonogram apps just call a big grid "hard." We do it properly. Every LogiSketch puzzle is analyzed by our solving engine and rated by the reasoning it actually requires: • Intuitive: learn the ropes with straightforward, satisfying deductions. • Logical: master the classic overlap technique and line-by-line reasoning. • Analytical: tackle puzzles that demand trial placements, contradiction arguments, and thinking several rows and columns ahead. A small grid can be fiendishly clever, and a big one can be a relaxing breeze. Now the rating finally tells you the truth. TOOLS FOR THE SERIOUS SOLVER LogiSketch respects expert players: • Q-marks let you record "maybe" hypotheses for advanced analytical reasoning, so you can explore possibilities without losing your place. • Extra gestures speed up filling, marking, and navigating: pinch or drag to select a region, row and column locking, and more. • Solve enormous puzzles your way: as one epic whole, or broken into manageable panels you complete one section at a time. Every control is designed to keep you in flow, not fighting the interface. COLOR AND BLACK & WHITE Enjoy timeless black-and-white logic puzzles, or dive into rich, full-color nonograms where each clue is tinted to its color. Color puzzles add a new dimension of strategy (including flexible spacing rules between colors) and reward you with vibrant pixel-art images. HINTS & TIPS WHEN YOU WANT THEM Stuck on a tricky line? A gentle hint will nudge you in the right direction without spoiling the fun, and helpful tips teach you the techniques the pros use. Prefer a challenge with stakes? Try Survivor mode, where careful play matters and every move counts. However you like to play, LogiSketch adapts to you. WHY PLAYERS LOVE LOGISKETCH • Free to start: the whole Starter gallery, no purchase required. • Thousands of professionally designed puzzles, from tiny to gigantic. • Honest, genuine difficulty ratings based on solving methodology, not just grid size. • No ads and no internet required. • Buy only the galleries you want, from $0.99, and keep them forever. • Clean, elegant design that looks stunning in light and dark mode. • Your puzzle progress follows your iCloud account: iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Pixie Grid is a cozy picture-reveal logic puzzle. Solve the nonogram, and your finished grid blooms into a warm, hand-illustrated picture — a small gift you made yourself. No lives. No energy gates. Just you, the clues, and a calm place to think. Free to play, with ads — remove them anytime. HOW NONOGRAMS WORK • The numbers beside each row and column are run-lengths — how many cells to fill in a row, in order • A clue of "3 1" means a run of 3 filled cells, a gap, then 1 filled cell • Use logic to work out which cells must be filled and which stay empty • Fill the grid correctly and the hidden picture is revealed • Tap to fill, hold to mark, drag to paint a line — undo as much as you like A COZY CAMPAIGN • Work through a relaxing campaign across 5 difficulty tiers • From a gentle 5×5 all the way up to a 15×15 Expert chew • Every puzzle has one solution and is solvable by pure logic — no guessing, fair by design • Earn up to 3 mastery stars per level for a flawless solve (no mistakes, no hints) — it rewards clean solving, never speed A NEW PICTURE EVERY DAY • One cozy daily puzzle, the same picture for everyone • Share a spoiler-free result with friends — it never gives the picture away • Keep a gentle, backfillable streak; miss a day and simply solve it later, no punishment • A 30-day login reward calendar — play any day to claim it QUESTS & REWARDS • Optional daily and weekly quests with little bonus objectives — ignore them completely if you like • Earn Credits as you play, from stars, quests, and your login streak • Collect procedural background skins to make the game your own NO-FAIL, NO-RUSH • No mistake counter, no game over — undo freely • Choose a relaxing no-error-check mode or a gentle assist • No forced timer on the board; an optional time-challenge mode is there if you want it, and it is off by default PLAYS YOUR WAY • Dark mode for candle-lit evening solving • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, colorblind-safe, and reduce-motion friendly FAIR & HONEST • Free to play, supported by ads — remove ads anytime with a one-time purchase • Optional Credits buy only comfort (extra hints, a reveal-line helper) and cosmetic skins — never an unfair advantage • Every single level is 100% solvable for free — no pay-to-win • No loot boxes, no randomized purchases, no energy gate, no lives, no subscription • Credits are stored on your device; unspent Credits stay with this install • Restore Purchases is always available Pixie Grid is the calm daily ritual the nonogram has been missing — warm, fair, and yours. Sit down, pour a cup of tea, and reveal today's picture.
