the result was comments on how they were boring to do and insulting my picture and making me feel like crap for even expressing my style. I’ve just now started to really get into doing nonograms bc this app was the best I’ve had for these puzzles, and I got up the courage to do some of my own and I absolutely loved the puzzles that I made bc they were overall cool to look at.but I made the mistake of thinking other people would think they were cool and published them. Lock current puzzle state, check assumptions Auto save if you stuck you can try another puzzle and come back later Use crosses, dots and other symbols to mark cells Nonograms sorted by groups from 5x5 to 50x50 All puzzles tested by computer program and have unique solution

If guessing, a single error can spread over the entire field and completely ruin the solution. Only cells that can be determined by logic should be filled.

Solvers usually use a dot or a cross to mark cells they are certain are spaces. Later in the solving process, the spaces help determine where a clue (continuing block of boxes and a number in the legend) may spread. Determining which cells are to be left empty (called spaces) is as important as determining which to fill (called boxes). To solve a puzzle, one needs to determine which cells will be boxes and which will be empty. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive groups. The numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column.

Nonograms, also known as Hanjie, Griddlers, Picross, Japanese Crosswords, Japanese Puzzles, Pic-a-Pix, "Paint by numbers" and other names, are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture.
