Luma Nonograms delivers a fresh hidden-picture puzzle every day - the classic Japanese logic game where the numbers around the grid tell you which squares to fill, and a piece of artwork emerges as you solve. Read the clues, fill the squares you can prove, and cross off the ones you can't. No guessing, no luck - every square can be worked out from the numbers alone. Finish the grid and the picture is revealed. Nonograms go by many names - picross, griddlers, hanjie, paint by numbers - and if you have solved one you know the pull of watching an image resolve out of a blank grid. If you haven't, the built-in tutorial walks you through the rules and the solving techniques that make them click. FEATURES ⢠A new picture puzzle every day across four difficulties - Easy and Medium at 10x10, Hard at 15x15, Expert at 20x20 ⢠Solved puzzle reveal their artwork and are kept in your Collection to browse anytime ⢠Tap to fill or mark empty, with a toggle to switch modes as you work ⢠Stuck? Grab a hint to reveal a square you can build from ⢠Expert Mode toggle when you want to skip the hand-holding ⢠Track your daily streak and collect monthly emblems ⢠Jump back to any past day on the calendar to finish what you missed ⢠Special event puzzles to mix things up ⢠Plays fully offline - solve anywhere, no connection needed with subscription ⢠Light and dark themes, with adjustable sound and vibration Whether you're a picross veteran or brand new to the genre, Luma Nonograms is built for calm, focused, satisfying solving.
