About this game

Nonograms, also known as Griddlers or Paint by Numbers, appeared at the end of the 20th century and became popular all over the world. Japanese crossword is a very popular puzzle game. 
In the Nonograms, unlike conventional crosswords and arrowwords, a picture instead of words is conceal by means of numbers.
Please have a look at these black-n-white Nonograms. They are divided into several groups by resolution depending on the crossword width and height.
If you like Philippine puzzles, you will definitely like Nonograms too.

All Nonograms have their own single solution.

The grid is formed by horizontal and vertical lines. Numbers on the top and on the left show the sequence order of blocks of filled-in squares horizontally and vertically correspondingly. The blocks are unbroken, and two nearby blocks must have at least one empty (unfilled) cell in between.
The blocks follow one another exactly in the order shown by the corresponding numbers.

Nonograms are solved in the following way:
– First, you need to determine which cells are to be filled;
– Second, you need to determine which cells cannot be filled: these are marked with crosses.
This process is repeated until the crossword is solved.

App features:
– More than a thousand of free Japanese crosswords of various width and height sizes (10x10, 15x15, 20x20, 25x25, 30x30 etc);

Ratings and reviews

This app should not be rated E for Everyone. I just completed a puzzle that looks like a man holding himself to pee. That is not something I want my 5 or 10 year olds who like to play this game with me to see.

Totally love this puzzle solving game! Especially because it helped me in making drawings come to life.. & that too by playing with numbers! It's the wonderful example of 'Simplicity is beautiful and brainy! ' I've been playing since more than 2.5 years now! & I know I can keep playing for many more!

I love these kinds of puzzles but sometimes when i complete them, I have no idea what I'm looking at. I would love if the pictures were labeled at the end. Also I wish there was a way to get hints to solve a puzzle as opposed to paying for the entire solution to one. I just started playing so please let me know if I am missing something.
