What Is a Picross / Nonogram Puzzle?
A Picross (Nonogram) puzzle consists of a rectangular grid with numbers displayed along the top and left edges. These numbers indicate how many consecutive cells should be filled in each row or column.
- Each number represents a group of filled squares
- Multiple numbers mean multiple groups separated by at least one empty square
- The puzzle is solved entirely through logical deduction
When all rows and columns satisfy their clues, a pixel‑style image is revealed.
