Nonograms, also called Picross, are picture logic puzzles. You shade cells to reveal a hidden image, using the number clues along each row and column to work out exactly which ones to fill. Every puzzle has one solution and can be cracked by logic alone, so there's never any guessing. Features: • Tap to fill a cell, hold to mark it with an X • Drag to fill or mark a whole run of cells in one go • Completed clues turn green so progress is easy to read • A progress bar shows how close you are to finishing • Undo any mistake with a single tap • Optional Auto Mark X clears finished rows and columns for you • Three difficulty levels with bigger grids as you go • Progress saves automatically • Stats and best times for every difficulty • Plays fully offline The classic picture puzzle, done right. If you love Picross, Griddlers, or Hanjie, this one will feel like home.
