Cozy Cross - Nonogram

Read the numbers, fill the grid, uncover a pixel-art picture. 224 puzzles across a little town of ten districts, and not one of them needs a guess.

Two hundred grids in Cozy Cross are hiding a picture. Read the numbers, fill the right squares, and a cloud, a cupcake or a lighthouse steps out of the pencil marks.

Cozy Cross is a nonogram, the number-logic puzzle that also goes by griddler, hanjie or picture cross. The numbers beside each row and above each column say how many squares are filled there, and in what order. Fill the squares you are sure of, cross out the ones that must stay empty, and the picture comes out on its own.

FAIR FROM THE FIRST SQUARE • Each of the 224 puzzles has exactly one answer, and you can reach it one row or column at a time. You never have to guess • Three free hints on every puzzle. A hint fills one square the clues already decide, and tells you so • Out of hints? Watch a short video for one more, only if you want to • Auto-cross marks off the rest of a finished line for you. Switch it off in Settings if you prefer • Leave a puzzle halfway and it keeps your marks for later

THREE HEARTS PER PUZZLE • A wrong fill or a wrong × costs a heart, and that square is set right so you can carry on • Lose all three and the puzzle ends. Start it over for free, or let a short video buy you one more heart, with your board just as it was

TEN DISTRICTS OF A LITTLE TOWN • Begin on Main Street with 5×5 warm-ups • Then stroll through Market Square, the Bakery & Café, Garden & Park, Pet Corner and the Harvest Fair at 10×10 • The Harbour, the Toy Shop, Winter Lane and the Music Hall bring big 15×15 boards • Each district has its own painted street and 20 pictures to uncover, 200 in all • Finish a district to open the next one. Finish all ten to open two Challenge Packs: 24 more puzzles with abstract patterns instead of pictures

THE DAILY PUZZLE • Tap Daily Puzzle on the Home screen for one 10×10 or 15×15 grid, the same one for everybody that day • It is picked from the town's own puzzles, so now and then it may be one you have already solved

HOW ADS WORK • Cozy Cross is free and supported by ads. There is nothing to buy • A banner sits at the bottom of the Home, Districts and puzzle screens • A full-screen ad may appear between puzzles, after you close the result card. Never while you are solving, not in your first few puzzles, and never after the daily • The videos for an extra hint or another heart are always your choice. Skip them and the game carries on

Every puzzle is stored on your phone, so there is no account to make and no connection needed to play.
