Crosshatch: Nonogram Puzzles

Numbers down the side, numbers across the top, and a picture hidden in the

grid. Work out which squares to fill and the picture appears. That is the

whole game: a pencil, some paper, and dozens of pictures to find. Nonograms

have many names — picture cross, griddlers, hanjie, Japanese crosswords — and

they are all the same logic puzzle. It works offline.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

EVERY PUZZLE IS PURE LOGIC

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• You fill a square because the numbers tell you to.

• Every picture is checked by a solver before it goes in the app. It must be

solvable by thinking alone, and it must have exactly one answer.

• A color picture passes that test twice: once with the colors as part of the

puzzle, and once in black and white. You can play it either way.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

DRAWN ON PAPER, IN PENCIL

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Fill a square or cross it out. Drag to do a whole row of them at once.

• The numbers stay next to the grid when you zoom in, so you always see the

line you are counting.

• On big grids, a magnifier follows your finger, so your hand never hides the

square you are about to fill.

• Undo and redo as much as you like.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

DOZENS OF PICTURES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Sets of pictures: Animals, Sea and Sky, Garden, Household, Travel and

Objects.

• Sizes from a quick 15 × 15 to a tall 25 × 35 that fills the whole screen.

• Each set goes from small to large, so every set is its own easy climb.

• Play any picture in color, where the numbers are colored too, or in black

and white, and watch the picture color itself in as you go.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HINTS WHEN YOU ARE STUCK

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Tap Hint and it points at the row or column you can work on next, and tells

you which number to look at.

• It points and explains. You still do the thinking.

• Hints are free, and you can use as many as you like.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THREE WAYS TO PLAY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• CLASSIC is the normal way to play: fill the squares, make mistakes, and work

them out from the numbers yourself.

• GUIDED means the app helps. It tells you as soon as a square is wrong, and

counts your mistakes for you.

• STRICT counts your mistakes: three on an easy picture, up to seven on a hard

one. Use them all and the picture starts again.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Free, and it works offline: on a plane, in a tunnel, on the bus.

• Open it and play. There is nothing to set up.

• Your finished pictures and your times are saved on your phone.

• Share a finished picture with a friend when you want to, with one tap.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

EVERYTHING IS FREE FROM THE START

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Every picture, every size and every set is yours from the first time you open

the app. New pictures come in updates, free, for everyone.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ADS, AND ONE PAYMENT TO REMOVE THEM

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Ads show only between pictures, after you put the finished one away.

• The break is counted in squares you fill, not pictures you finish, so a few

small pictures count the same as one big one.

• One payment removes ads for good. You pay once and that is it.

• Everything in the game is already yours. The payment only removes ads.
