Nonograms Katana

Nonograms Katana: Sharpen your mind!

Nonograms, known by various names such as Hanjie, Griddlers, Picross, Japanese Crosswords, Japanese Puzzles, Pic-a-Pix, and "Paint by numbers," are captivating picture logic puzzles. These puzzles challenge you to color or leave blank cells in a grid based on numbers provided on the grid's sides, ultimately revealing a hidden image. These numbers represent the lengths of unbroken lines of filled squares within each row or column. For instance, a clue like "4 8 3" indicates sequences of four, eight, and three filled squares, separated by at least one blank cell.

To master a nonogram, you must logically determine which cells to fill (known as boxes) and which to leave empty (known as spaces). Marking spaces accurately is crucial as it helps pinpoint where a clue's sequence can extend. Solvers typically use a dot or a cross to denote confirmed spaces.

It's vital to avoid guessing; only fill cells that can be deduced through logic. A single incorrect guess can derail the entire puzzle.
