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 5Ɨ5 all the way up to a 15Ɨ15 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.

About

Nonogram Picross

Features
Read full description

Ten thousand nonograms, and not one of them needs a guess. Griddly is a nonogram — a logic puzzle on a grid. The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many squares to fill and in what runs; the rest is deduction. No timers pushing you, no lives to run out of, no connection required. WHAT IS IN IT • 10,000 machine-verified puzzles — 3,000 at 10Ɨ10, 4,000 at 15Ɨ15, 3,000 at 20Ɨ20 • Four difficulty levels, from a few quiet minutes to a proper sit-down • A new daily puzzle, a streak to keep, and a calendar to fill • Works with no connection, on a plane, underground, anywhere EVERY PUZZLE HAS ONE SOLUTION Every board was solved twice by two independent programs before it shipped — once to prove it has exactly one answer, once to prove that answer can be reached by reasoning alone. You will never be asked to guess and hope. MADE TO BE PUT DOWN Your board is saved where you left it. Undo as far back as you like. Ask for a hint when a line will not come, or check your work when something feels wrong — both are there when you want them and quiet when you do not.
