What is a Nonogram?
A nonogram, also known as Picross or Griddlers, is a logic puzzle where you reveal a hidden picture by filling in cells based on numerical clues. These clues indicate how many consecutive filled cells appear in each row and column. By using logic and deduction, you gradually uncover the hidden image pixel by pixel.
Nonogram Tips
Getting Started
- • Start with the largest numbers in rows and columns
- • Use X marks to indicate empty cells
- • Look for completed rows or columns first
Advanced Tips
- • Cross-reference between rows and columns
- • Look for overlapping segments
- • Use edge cases to your advantage
Nonogram Strategy
Basic Strategies
Simple Boxes
Start with rows and columns where boxes must be filled due to size constraints.
Edge Working
Work from the edges inward to establish definite filled and empty cells.
Advanced Techniques
Forcing
Use known cells to force the position of other cells in the same row or column.
Contradiction
Identify impossible arrangements to determine correct cell states.
