Luma Nonograms

Read full description

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.
