Nonograms Katana: Sharpen your mind!
Nonograms, also known as Hanjie, Griddlers, Picross, Japanese Crosswords, Japanese Puzzles, Pic-a-Pix, "Paint by numbers," and other names, are captivating picture logic puzzles. In these puzzles, players must color or leave blank cells in a grid according to numbers provided at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden image. These numbers act as a form of discrete tomography, indicating how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares exist in any given row or column. For instance, a clue such as "4 8 3" signifies sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, respectively, separated by at least one blank square.
Solving a nonogram involves determining which cells should be filled (boxes) and which should remain empty (spaces). Both decisions are crucial, as spaces later guide where a clue's block of boxes may extend. Solvers often mark certain cells as spaces using a dot or a cross. Importantly, guessing should be avoided; only cells that logic dictates should be filled. A single incorrect guess can spread errors across the entire puzzle, spoiling the solution.
