The numbers beside each row and above each column give the lengths of the shaded blocks in that line, in order, with at least one empty square between blocks. Start with the longest clues, mark squares you know are empty with a dot, and work back and forth between rows and columns until the picture appears.
Which size should I print?
10 × 10 for a first nonogram or for children around 8 and up, 15 × 15 for most adults, and 20 × 20 when you want a puzzle that takes an evening.
Are nonograms the same as picross or griddlers?
Yes. Nonograms are also sold as picross, griddlers, hanjie and paint-by-numbers logic puzzles. The rules are the same.
Can I make my own?
Yes. These puzzles were made with the DT Labs nonogram maker. Make your own themes and word lists, build a full book with answer keys, and export a KDP-ready PDF. Exports come with a commercial licence for KDP and Etsy.
Frequently asked questions
Are these nonograms free?
Yes. Download and print as many copies as you like for home, school and clubs. No account and no email needed.
Can every puzzle be solved without guessing?
Yes. Each puzzle was checked by a solver that uses logic only; if a picture needed guessing, cells were adjusted until it did not.
Are the answers included?
Yes. The finished pictures are at the back of each PDF, four to a page, with the picture name.
Can I sell these nonograms?
No — these PDFs are for printing and solving, not for resale. To sell nonogram books, make your own with the free nonogram maker, which comes with a commercial licence.
