How to play

  1. 1

    Pick a size: 5×5, 10×10 or 15×15. A hidden picture is chosen at random.

  2. 2

    The numbers beside each row and above each column tell you the lengths of the filled runs, in order. For “3 1”, there are 3 filled squares, a gap of at least one, then 1 filled square.

  3. 3

    Tap (or drag) to fill squares. Switch to ✕ mode to mark squares you know are empty.

  4. 4

    A row or column clue turns green with a tick when it is satisfied. Fill every clue to reveal the picture.

Tips

  • Start with big numbers: in a 10-wide row, a clue of 8 must cover the middle 6 squares.
  • Rows or columns with clue 0 are completely empty — mark them with ✕ first.
  • Add up a clue and its gaps; if it equals the row length, the whole row is decided.
  • Use Check if you are unsure — it shows squares that are filled by mistake.

About this game

A nonogram is a picture logic puzzle. The grid starts empty, and each row and column has a list of numbers that tell you how many squares in a row are filled, and in which order. By combining the row and column clues, you work out exactly which squares to colour — and a hidden picture slowly appears.

These puzzles were invented in Japan in the late 1980s and are now loved around the world. This free version uses original pixel pictures with an Indian touch — diya, mango, peacock, kite, temple tower, auto-rickshaw, lotus and more — in three sizes, with fill and ✕ modes, drag painting, clue highlighting, check and reveal.

Questions

Does each puzzle have a picture?

Yes. Every puzzle is made from a small pixel drawing, such as a diya, mango, peacock, kite, temple tower or auto-rickshaw. When you solve it, the picture appears in colour.

What do Check and Reveal do?

Check marks filled squares that are not part of the picture. Reveal shows the full answer if you want to give up and see the picture.

Is this good for children?

Yes. The 5×5 puzzles are quick and teach logical thinking; 10×10 and 15×15 are a good challenge for teenagers and adults.
