Nonogram Hanjie Logic: Pixtide

Pixtide is a calm offline nonogram game (also called picture cross, griddlers or hanjie) with 300 puzzles you can solve by logic alone, without a single guess. Follow the numbers beside each row and column, fill the grid, and a picture appears.

Some nonogram apps leave you guessing when the clues run out; in Pixtide a solver checks every puzzle first, so each cell follows from the clues you can already see.

Never a guess, only logic
Each cell follows from the clues you can already see, so a nonogram in Pixtide never asks you to guess and hope. A solver checks every nonogram before it ships, and a puzzle that would need a guess never reaches you.

How to play a nonogram
1. The numbers beside a row list its runs of filled cells, in order, with at least one gap between them. A row marked 4 2 has four filled cells, a gap, then two more.
2. Tap a cell to fill it. Switch to the X tool, or long-press, to cross out a cell you have proved stays empty.
3. Drag along a row or a column to paint a whole run in one stroke.
4. Filling a cell the picture leaves empty is a mistake. There are no hearts and no limit: mistakes only cost stars, and you choose how they show.

Fair hints
The first hint on every board costs nothing. It points at a cell the clues already prove, so it teaches a step instead of handing you the answer. Later hints cost coins, and the game always asks first.

Your own pace
There is a clock, but nothing depends on it except your own quick-play record. Take an hour over a 15x15 nonogram if you like. Undo costs nothing and is unlimited, and it takes back a whole stroke at a time.
