Play nonograms online
10 free picture puzzles, right in your browser.

No signup, nothing to install, no pencil: click to fill a cell, right-click (or the ✕ Mark tool) to cross out an empty one, and the picture appears when the grid closes.

How it works, in three sentences

  1. The numbers on a row are the lengths of the filled runs in that row, in order, separated by at least one empty cell.
  2. The clue 2 1 on a 5-wide row means two filled, a gap, one filled — so ■■·■·, ■■··■ or ·■■·■.
  3. Cross what the row guarantees with what the column guarantees and every cell decides itself: you never have to guess.

The worked example, drawn step by step, is in how to solve nonograms.

The 10 pictures on this board

These are exactly the ones in the free printable pack — if you would rather solve on paper, that is the same set, with answers. 5 at 10×10, 4 at 15×15, 1 at 20×20.

None of these 10 are in the book. They were drawn for Pixel Logic vol. 1 and left over when it filled up at 100 — so playing here and buying later means paying for nothing twice.

Why every one of these closes on logic alone

A pretty nonogram and a correct nonogram are different things: you can build a grid whose clues admit two different pictures, and the player stalls without having made a single mistake. The 10 here went through the same gate as the 100 in the book — a solver that uses only row and column deduction rebuilds the drawing cell by cell, and a picture it cannot close on its own does not ship.

If you build your own nonograms, that gate is public: the nonogram checker tells you whether your drawing closes without guessing, and the nonogram solver tells you what is wrong with a set of clues.

Teaching with these? Nonograms in the classroom puts the same ten sheets in the order to hand them out.
