I thought this was going to be about nomograms. TIL that monograms, nonograms and nomograms exist

#12This is currently the best nonogram game (with random generator) on the Internet:
I frequently play it on 15x15 and I regenerate it until there are no numbers above 6 (and as few 5s and 6s as possible).

#13Oooh that's nice! I made a nonogram game as well but never made a tutorial because of how much extra work it would be. Good job on doing the work.
My twist on the game is that it's multiplayer. I posted it on the nonogram subreddit a few years ago and to my surprise I still have a few daily players. I'd recommend posting it there as well, they're nice folks.
Here's mine. Multiplayer, free, browser-only, no ads/tracking. https://berendswennenhuis.nl/nonogram/

#14I built this, the list started as a tutorial and then grew out of control. Especially when I started experimenting with mixing text and interactive elements. I think nonograms are underrated and relatively unknown, I hope this text changes it a little. I link to my app[1] frequently, it's free right now, I hope this is fine. There's no Android version yet; for anyone who wants to try nonograms on an Android smartphon…
The Google play link is broken for me: > We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.
Fixed link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.boyle.chr...
Sorry, cannot edit the grandparent post. I copied that invalid link from safari's url bar, perhaps Google Play store did something unexpected with URLs.

#15There was a fun hacker news post a while back [0] about a website that had generated every solvable-without-backtracking 5x5 nonogram. I found it very addictive, and the creator has since released it as a paid mobile app. Highly recommended for commutes!

#16Just wanted to say: thanks for the implementation. Butter smooth on mobile - great we have nice things still and someone cares for UX <3

This is a free app. Always look at the native iOS in app popup and here it says the same thing. Double check your charge, it must be something unrelated. Don’t accuse people of scams without doing this check first.

Can you post screenshots of your purchase history in 2026? It’s in the upper right profile icon in the main view of the App Store app.

I am unfamiliar with nonograms. I don't understand from the explanation how the grouping hints work.
"When there are two or more numbers, this means there will be two or more groups of filled cells."
Is the "group number" the size of the first group? That seems to fit the tutorial example where (1, 2) = (., x, ., .) and (2, 1) = (., ., x, .).
Thanks for making this - I've stumbled across these puzzles but never took the time to try one.

#20oh I love nonograms!
There's some good nonogram games on Steam - Paint it Back, Picross Touch, Pictopix.
(Depixtion is a bit of a twist on nonograms which I play from time to time also)
