A medium 5x5 Nonogram (also called Picross, Griddlers, or Hanjie) is a picture logic puzzle. Number clues along the rows and columns tell you how many consecutive cells to fill in each line. Solving the puzzle reveals a hidden medium 5x5 pixel-art image. No guessing is needed — every cell can be determined by pure logic.
Start with rows or columns where the clues nearly fill the entire line — these have forced cells you can mark immediately. Then use the “overlap” technique: if the clue block could start anywhere in a range, the overlapping cells in every possible position must be filled. Cross-reference row and column clues to eliminate possibilities until every cell is confirmed filled or empty.
5×5 or 10×10 Easy nonograms are ideal for beginners. The small grid limits the number of rows and columns to analyze simultaneously, and Easy difficulty ensures many rows have simple, single-block clues. Once comfortable, move to 15×15 Medium puzzles, which introduce multi-block clues requiring cross-referencing. The 10×10 medium 5x5 nonogram on this page is a medium challenge.
This 10×10 nonogram contains 100 cells arranged in 10 rows and 10 columns. Each cell is either filled (part of the pixel-art image) or empty (crossed out). Approximately 45–60 cells are filled in a typical medium-difficulty 10×10 puzzle, forming the completed medium 5x5 picture.
Nonogram, Picross, Griddlers, and Hanjie are all names for the same type of picture logic puzzle. “Nonogram” is the original academic name. “Picross” is Nintendo’s trademarked name for the puzzle in their video game series. “Griddlers” is the name used by the popular online puzzle community. “Hanjie” is the name used in Japanese and UK puzzle magazines. The rules are identical across all versions.
