🖼 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.
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.

Nonograms (also called picross, griddlers, or hanjie) are logic puzzles that hide a picture inside a grid of numbers:
This puzzle is a 25×25 grid. For the full method, edge logic, and tougher techniques once you're ready to level up, read our complete guide to nonograms and advanced nonogram techniques.
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.
Columns 24 and 25 have just a 2 each. Look for the rows whose runs reach all the way to the right edge.
A 25×25 grid with a tall, thin piece in the upper left and a busy lower section full of split clues like 2 2 3 2 2. Every square comes from one line at a time, but there are a lot of lines.
Bon Voyage sends off a steamship — a long hull riding the waterline, a row of portholes down the side, a billowing funnel, and a wisp of smoke curling up and thinning as it drifts away. This 25×25 Hard puzzle is all about locking down the big horizontal runs first: once the deck line and waterline are set, the funnel and portholes hang off them. The dissipating smoke trail is the final, satisfying flourish.
