Nonogram Jigsaw Puzzle

Settle in with a numbered grid and uncover a picture in the Nonogram Jigsaw Puzzle. This Japanese picture puzzle gives older kids and teens a tougher kind of brain workout than a standard crossword. Blank squares hide the final image, and the answer only appears after the right pattern is placed across the board. Early boards can look impossible. A few solved lines change that fast, and the next puzzle pulls you right back in.

How to play?

Fill the cells that match the clues on the edges of the board. Numbers beside a row show how many squares belong in that horizontal line. Clues above the grid apply to the vertical columns. Separate number groups with empty spaces when the pattern requires it. The picture comes together as more lines match their clues. A wrong guess can break the pattern, so erase doubtful marks and test another arrangement.
