Picross Puzzles

Picross is the name that brought nonograms into the mainstream gaming world. If you discovered picture logic puzzles through a video game, chances are it was called Picross. The name combines picture and crossword, and the gameplay is identical to what we call nonograms.

From Console to Browser

The Picross name became widely known through a long-running series of handheld video games starting in the mid-1990s. These games introduced millions of players to the joy of filling in grids to reveal hidden pictures. Our free browser-based Picross puzzles offer the same logical challenge with no console required. Play on your computer, phone, or tablet, or print puzzles for offline solving.
