Plates · a nonogram picture puzzle

Play a Free Nonogram Puzzle Online

Plates is a nonogram, also called a picture-cross puzzle. The numbers on the edge are a recipe. A 5 means five filled squares in a row. Watch the plus fill in, then ink the same way on the press.

The middle row says 5. The plate is 5 wide, so that row is all ink.

Rules

How a nonogram reads

You are filling a picture from the numbers on the edge. Those numbers are not a score. They are block sizes. That is the whole nonogram, picture-cross, and griddlers rule set.

  1. A number is a run of ink. A 3 means three inked squares stuck together. Two numbers on one line are two separate blocks, with at least one empty square between them.
  2. Ink paints. Mark is an X. Tap Ink to paint, Mark to stamp an X. Each tool only undoes itself: ink will not stamp over an X, and mark will not paint over ink. Hold a square to flip fill and X. Right-click also stamps an X.
  3. Gold numbers mean that line is done. When a row or column matches its numbers, the clue turns gold. Leave it. Check lights a solid ring on bad ink and a dashed ring on a bad X. Finish every line and the picture prints on the plate.
  4. Stars, hints, and fresh plates. A clean solve earns three stars. Hint makes one logical move, and a hint or a check that finds mistakes costs a star. The Daily plate is new every day and keeps a streak. Quick plates never run out, and each one has exactly one answer.

Plate 1 is a plus. Start with the middle row: it is a 5 on a 5-wide plate, so you ink the whole row. Progress writes to plates:v1. A longer walkthrough lives on how to play nonograms. The match-3 on this hub is Vcrush.

Play this nonogram in the browser

This page is the game. There is nothing to install and nothing to buy. A nonogram is a picture puzzle. The numbers along the top and the side tell you which squares to fill in.

A number is a group of filled squares that touch each other. A 3 means three filled squares in a row. If a line has two numbers, such as 2 and 1, it has two separate groups, with at least one empty square between them. Fill the right squares and a picture appears.

Ink fills a square. Mark puts an X on a square you know stays empty. When a row or column matches its numbers, those numbers turn gold. There are 15 plates, from 5×5 up to 10×10. A new daily plate shows up every day, and quick plates never run out. Your progress is saved in this browser.
