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.
