For Whom Does The Bell Toll

Hard

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 roofline. The steadily growing runs near the top (1, 3, 5, 7, 9…) trace the peaked roof widening row by row — lock those in first.
Use the long unbroken row. One row near the middle is a single run of 13 — the widest point of the roof, and a great anchor for the rows just above and below it.
Work the three-part rows last. Lower down, most rows split into three separate runs (walls, doorway or window gap, walls again) — place the two outer blocks first, then let the crossing column clues confirm the gap between them.

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.

Clear the border. Rows 1, 24 and 25 have no clue, and neither do columns 1–4 and 22–25. The working width is columns 5 to 21 (17 squares).
Rows 19 to 23 (4 7 4). 4 + 7 + 4 plus two gaps is exactly 17. Each of these five rows fits only one way: columns 5–8, 10–16 and 18–21, with columns 9 and 17 blank.
Column 7 (15). Rows 19–23 are filled and row 24 is blank, so the run must end at row 23. Count up 15 and it starts at row 9. Fill rows 9 to 23, and blank everything above. Column 19 is the mirror image and works the same way.
Columns 5 and 6. The same trick: both runs have to end at row 23. Column 5 (10) is rows 14 to 23, and column 6 (11) is rows 13 to 23.

Stuck? Click for a nudge

Column 13 runs straight down the middle (5 1 6). Its 6 has to be the bottom six rows, because rows 19 to 23 are already filled there. Then look for the lone 1.

Why It's Rated Hard

A tall, detailed 25×25 with lots of matching left and right pieces. Once you spot that the bottom rows fit exactly, everything builds upward from there. No guessing, just a lot of careful counting.

Spoiler: what does this puzzle hide?

For Whom Does The Bell Toll solves into a small chapel: a peaked roofline rising to a point, a cross-shaped window set above the doorway, and a pair of arched double doors below. This 25×25 Hard puzzle rewards working from the roofline down — the symmetric roof locks in fast, and the cross window and doorway gaps follow once the crossing column clues pin down the middle.
