About

Nonogram Darkroom

Read full description

Read the numbers. Fill the grid. A picture comes out of it. The numbers beside each row and column count runs of filled squares. Read them, fill what must be filled, cross out what cannot be โ€” and an image rises out of the grid. YOU NEVER HAVE TO GUESS Every puzzle is checked by a solver before you ever see it: if it cannot be finished by logic alone, it is not shipped. That is a property of the puzzle, not a promise in a description. WHY YOU'LL STAY โ€ข A new picture every day, the same one for everyone worldwide โ€ข Mark the squares you have ruled out โ€” an X is information, not a guess โ€ข A streak to protect, and stats that recompute honestly โ€ข A free archive: replay any past day from its seed โ€ข Hints point at the next real deduction, never at a random square MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE โ€ข No timer, no lives, no energy meter โ€ข Persian, Arabic and Kurdish numerals on the board itself, not just in the menus โ€ข Play in English, German, Arabic, Persian or Kurdish (Sorani) โ€ข Proper right-to-left chrome with the board pinned left-to-right, where it belongs โ€ข Fully offline. No account, no sign-up FREE, HONESTLY The daily, the archive, streaks and stats are free with light optional ads. Rewarded video is opt-in and only ever buys a hint. No banner ads on the board, ever. One purchase removes ads forever โ€” no subscription, no energy, no timers.
