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 biggest clues. A row or column clue close to the full width, like the 11 in this puzzle, tells you almost the whole line is filled — mark those first.
Cross off what's finished. Once a row or column's clue is fully satisfied, mark every remaining cell in that line as empty so you don't second-guess it later.
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.

This puzzle is a challenging 13×13 starting 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.
