Fascinating mixture of two popular puzzle games! Swipe any direction to move. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one and other tiles with this number disappear. You can only move to an empty space. Don't get locked in! Get to the 2048 tile, and reach a high score.

Pause. Think. Solve. Playnono is a picross — a nonogram, if that's what you grew up calling it. Numbers along each row and column tell you which squares to fill. There's only ever one solution, and when you find it, a small picture appears. The puzzles are all hand-drawn. Someone designed each one and solved it to make sure it holds together, so you get a real picture at the end instead of random noise. They range from quick 5×5 grids to large, intricate ones, with new puzzles added regularly. LEADERBOARDS Solve a puzzle without peeking and your time goes on its board. Look at the solution and you're out for that run, so the times at the top are earned. See where you land the moment you finish. CREATE YOUR OWN Draw a puzzle in the editor, confirm it has a single solution, and publish it for everyone else to play. HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT Auto-mark clears a line once your squares match its clues. Misplace one and you get a beat to catch it before it's flagged. Nothing hands you the answer. MADE TO BE CALM A warm cream background, one terracotta accent, and type that's easy to sit with. Pinch to zoom on bigger grids, and drag along a row or column to fill it in a single motion. Sign in to sync across your devices, or just play. Either way, your progress is saved between sessions. The short version of what you won't find here: no ads, no trackers, no upsells, no streak guilt, and nothing behind a paywall. The library is free, and we don't sell or share your data (full details at playnono.app/privacy). Made by Marius Bocanu. Found a bug or have an idea? marius@playnono.app
