Under rating threshold (show) For those who didn't know: nonograms = picross = griddlers = paint-by-numbers = Japanese crosswords = pick-a-box = logic square = CryptoPics. Depending on where you are from, it's called something different.

Under rating threshold (show) Wolf is another one with multiple solutions based on the numbers. Can guess correctly by assuming certain things are symmetric, but I managed to draw something plausible that fit the numbers and still got it "wrong".

Under rating threshold (show) @NoWorries: I see one place where those numbers fit. Remember that the 6 and 2 can extend past the edges of the 13. So a couple of the boxes filled in by the 6 will be the last ones filled in that row.

Under rating threshold (show) I love these puzzles, whether you want to call it picross or Japanese Monograms. I'm gathering that there are too few easy puzzles from other comments, making it difficult for new players to figure out how to work them.

Under rating threshold (show) @HandEFood I got down to the center of the cherry challenge and also discovered there were multiple solutions by the numbers. This is when I came to the conclusion that this puzzle was based on more than numeric logic. The visual logic of the puzzle also dictates that the stems are connected to the branch and the cherries. With this logic, the puzzle has a single solution.

Under rating threshold (show) 1) Make it so coloring goes by rows or columns since it's easy to erase your work. 2) Hot keys are a must.

Under rating threshold (show) Unless I'm retarded the lemon puzzle has an error on it's numbers. The far right column says 13 and the column nxt to it says 6 2. There is no possible 13 you can put into the far right column that allows for a 6 2 in the column next to it based off the last number for all of the rows. Anyone see how those two column numbers can be correct?

Under rating threshold (show) @HandEFood - I'd be curious to see a screenshot of your solution because I completed with the only solution that I could find based on the given clues, and it looked like I expected from the name of the puzzle.

Under rating threshold (show) Pretty fun, I miss the constantly active line checker from other games like this, but it's still good, and the line checker gives answers close to the end.

Under rating threshold (show) I've seen better interfaces (though this one isn't bad) and the images do not all have unique solutions. Huge, and inexcusable, problem for this type of puzzle.

Under rating threshold (show) If you read the help on the ingame tutorial and you still dont understand the game completely, another way to learn how to play is by going into the constructor and drawing whatever and looking at the clues it gives for your drawing. That is what helped me

Under rating threshold (show) I always liked these since I first did them as Japanese paint by numbers in Games magazine when I was a kid. This game isn't bad, but there are some minor issues, like the white background on the X's and the fact that cycling through filling, blocking, and blank is locked when you use the X tool from the menu. It's not as pretty as Picma, but I hate the scrolling on big grids on Picma. My biggest complaint is non-traditional dimensions. Nonograms in my experience are ALWAYS done in multiples of 5. Odd grid sizes seriously complicate solving habits because you get used to counting in 5s.

Under rating threshold (show) @Alexis_trouble: That's actually a fair mistake. Kanji are literally symbols borrowed directly from Chinese when the Japanese language was first formed. There's apparently some way to distinguish between them, but I'm no expert on that.

Under rating threshold (show) There's a mistake on the key level, on the far right portion of the key the numbers don't match whats being checked. according to the symmetry the numbers are wrong, the check is right. Great game, thanks!

Under rating threshold (show) really a poor game, its poor visually, the music is terribly annoying, and there are sooo much better versions of this game. the interface is pretty archaic, and its just very boring. Every other type of nonogram I've seen is better. Also same problem as HandEFood said, it's not a quality game. I'll give it a 2/5 and I feel that's generous.

Under rating threshold (show) Hey, it's a game! Just play... but how? the "help" page doesn't really help, so there should be a tutorial, where is explained, how to solve these puzzles step by step... 3/5
