A nonogram (or sometimes called a picture puzzle or griddler) is a puzzle which consists of an empty grid with squares. Above and to the left of this grid numbers are given with a specific colour. Each number refers to a range of one or more consecutive squares of the given colour. By colouring the squares according to the information given by the numbers at the edges of the grid a picture will emerge: the solution to the nonogram.

You will find a demonstration on how to solve nonograms; you can download a program, which makes it easier to solve nonograms. With the program you cab also design your own nonograms.

If you choose [Nonograms] then you will find the available nonograms. You can use several predefined criteria. On this page you can make a selection yourself.
The most recently added nonograms can be found on this page. I stopped publishing new nonograms on a daily basis. There are 1758 nonograms on the website, which will give you many hours of fun!

The most recent version of the program makes it possible to design your own nonograms!

I hope you will have fun with Maaiko Nonograms!
