About Printable Nonogram Puzzles

Nonograms (also known as Picross, Griddlers, or Hanjie) are picture logic puzzles where you fill cells to reveal a hidden image. Using the number clues along each row and column, you deduce which cells to fill and which to leave empty. Every puzzle has a unique solution.

How to Solve Nonograms

  • Read the Clues: Numbers show consecutive groups of filled cells, separated by gaps.
  • Use Overlap: Compare leftmost and rightmost positions for each block to find guaranteed fills.
  • Mark Empty Cells: Use X marks for cells that must be empty to narrow possibilities.
  • Cross-Reference: Progress in rows helps solve columns and vice versa.
