Get unstuck. Understand the next move. Nonogram Coach helps you turn number clues into pictures, with explanations you can follow and moves you make yourself. HINTS THAT TEACH THE LOGIC See how different possible positions can still force the same square. Coach highlights a suggested move and, for supported techniques, shows the line placements and explains why the clues make that move safe. Coach uses the Fill and X marks currently on your board when explaining supported line deductions. Some Beginner puzzles also include linked-line checks. If a mark needs correcting, the answer check is clearly labeled. You stay in control: Coach selects Fill, X or Erase, and you tap the board yourself.

Figured: Sequences is the second release in the Figured series of puzzle games - sharp rules, real depth, no ads or timers. HOW TO PLAY Each puzzle shows you four numbers. Study the pattern, then enter what comes next on the custom number pad. Get it right and you move on. Get it wrong and the pad just clears - try again, as many times as you need. DIFFICULTY THAT BUILDS Puzzles climb through four tiers of difficulty within every chapter. Later tiers bring negative numbers into play, so the pattern isn't always where you expect it. NO PENALTY, NO PRESSURE There's no attempt limit and no fail state - a wrong guess costs you nothing but a second try. Stuck on one? Skip it and come back later. Nothing is held against you, and the puzzle is waiting whenever you're ready. 600 PUZZLES, 15 CHAPTERS, 3 VOLUMES Volume 1: Origins - 200 puzzles, included with the app. Volume 2: Ascent - 200 more puzzles. Available as an in-app purchase. Volume 3: Cosmos - 200 of the sharpest sequences yet. Available as an in-app purchase. A bundle unlocking Volumes 2 and 3 together is also available. YOUR PROGRESS, EVERYWHERE No accounts to create - your progress syncs automatically across your devices with iCloud. NO ADS. NO TIMERS. Just the sequence. Play at your own pace - light and dark themes, adjustable sound, music, and haptics.
