🖼 A hidden picture is waiting inside the grid. Use the numbers above each column and beside each row to work out which squares to fill in — the answer key sits at the bottom, fold it backward along the dotted line before you start.
A logic-grid picture puzzle (also called picross or griddlers). Use the number clues to fill in the correct squares and reveal the hidden image.
Each number tells you how many squares in a row to fill in that line, in order. A clue of 2 2 means: fill 2 squares, leave at least one blank, then fill 2 more.

How to Solve This Nonogram
Nonograms (also called picross, griddlers, or hanjie) are logic puzzles that hide a picture inside a grid of numbers:
Start with the biggest clues. A row or column clue close to the full width tells you the whole line (or most of it) is filled — mark those first.
Watch for lone single clues. A clue of just 1 sitting between two solved lines can often be pinned down early using the cells already fixed above and below it.
Work the overlap. When a clue number is more than half the line's length, the middle cells must always be filled no matter how the run shifts — mark those immediately.
Not sure where to begin? Here's exactly how Mr. Puzzle opens this grid. Rows are numbered top to bottom and columns left to right.
Clear the border. Rows 1–5, 20, 24 and 25 have no clue, and neither do columns 1–4 and 22–25. Mark them all blank. The fox sits inside a working area 17 squares wide, columns 5 to 21.
Rows 9 and 10. Row 10 has a clue of 17, exactly the width of the working area, so fill columns 5 through 21. Row 9 (1 13 1) adds up to 1 + 13 + 1 plus two gaps, which is also exactly 17. It fits only one way: column 5, columns 7 to 19, and column 21.
Row 11 (15). In 17 squares, a run of 15 has 2 squares of wiggle room, so columns 7 through 19 are always filled.
Column 7 (11). Row 20 is blank, so the run of 11 has to fit in rows 6 to 19, a 14-square stretch. That leaves 3 squares of wiggle room, which means rows 9 through 16 are always filled. Column 19 works exactly the same way.
Stuck? Click for a nudge
The fox is a mirror image left to right. Column 5 matches column 21, column 6 matches column 20, and so on. Solve one side and copy it across. The lower face is where the small split clues live, so take those one line at a time.
Why It's Rated Hard
At 25×25, it's one of our biggest grids, and the lower half is full of short split clues (like 2 1 1 2) that need patience. But every square can still be found one line at a time. No guessing, just steady work. Save it for when the 15×15 puzzles feel easy.
Spoiler: what does this puzzle hide?
This fox face packs in a white muzzle mask, two pointed ears with inner notches, and a small triangular nose — the extra rows and columns mean longer, more interwoven clues than the Easy and Medium grids, making it a genuine step up for confident solvers.
