Printable nonograms
A nonogram — also known as picross or griddlers — is a hidden picture: the numbers along the edges say how many cells in each row and column are filled, and in what runs. Solve it in pencil and the picture appears.
Every day there is a new one in each of three sizes, drawn from hand-picked icons and dealt to everybody alike. Pick a size, print the sheet, and take it wherever a screen would not go.
Today’s sheets
A4, black and white, one puzzle a sheet, with how to play on the last page. No sign-up, nothing to fill in.
A new set every day at midnight UTC.
How to play
Each number counts a run of filled cells in its row or column — the runs come in that order, with at least one empty cell between them.
Fill the cells you can be sure of, and cross out the ones you can rule out.
When every row and column matches its numbers, a small picture appears.
Questions people ask
- Is it free?
- Yes. The sheets, the boards on the site and the archive are free, without an account and without advertising. The PDFs are made once a day and anyone may download them.
- How many puzzles are there a day?
- One new board a day at each level — 10 × 10, 15 × 15, and 20 × 20 — the same for everybody, dealt at midnight UTC. Earlier days stay downloadable in the archive below.
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Every sheet downloads without an account. An account only keeps your online plays and your streak in one place across your devices.
- Does every puzzle have exactly one solution?
- Yes. Every board is checked to have a single solution and to be solvable by reasoning alone — no guessing is ever needed. The solution is not printed; the sheet holds the puzzle and the rules.
- May I hand the sheets out or use them in a classroom?
- Yes — print, photocopy and hand them out as you like, for a class, a club or a waiting room. Only leave the credit line at the foot of the sheet where it is.
