Hi nono lovers.
I've been stuck on this nono for what it seems like forever. Does anyone see what I seem to be missing? Where is the next logical step to solve this?
Comment has been collapsed.
4th line, one before the last, can only be a cross. Then upwards you have the 3
Comment has been collapsed.
Err, thanks, not getting it at all tho, lol.
4th line... The 1 5 1? Or the 2 1 2 2??
What do you mean with "one before the last"? Which upwards 3??
Comment has been collapsed.
I think I unerstand what you mean. 4th horizontal line (1 5 1), and you mean the second to last square in this row. I don't see the logic in this though. Why can it only be a cross??
Comment has been collapsed.
Because the square to the left is either the end of the 5 or the second 1, thus it has to be followed by a X.
Comment has been collapsed.
Easiest way to think about it is that if that space was filled, it wouldn't leave enough room for the 1.
Or alternatively: any string of 2+ filled squares in that row must belong to the 5, because the only other numbers are 1s. If you filled that space, you would have to also fill the two squares in between, leaving a string of 6, which is too many.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think you're considering the 1 that you cut off in the column where you put the X. Look at the original image again.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh! indeed. i copied a cropped image into paint and lost 1 in the column. my mistake
then we can solve from two possible positions of 6 in the third line from the bottom. it is possible only on the right. because on the left we will not be able to place 3 in the bottom line
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah you could also use "edge logic" in the top right. But both could technically be considered trial and error, so the logic of PtiLucky/WaxWorm's solution is more elegant.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you need to do the edge fill technique.
The 3 3 1 col. Filling the first row is impossible since that means you need to fill the fourth row of 3 1 1, so it means that the fourth row of 3 3 1 can be filled, which leads to the fourth row of 1 2 1 2 1 and 2 2 1 1 to be filled as well.
The 4 col. You can cross the last 6 rows because it wont fit the 2 1 1 row.
The 3 8 row. The only way in this set up to fill it is by filling col 2-4 so you can put 2 in the above row in. For the same reason, col 5 and 6 cant be filled so you can fill col 13 and 14.
The 4 1 col. 5th row is crossed since if you fill it, you wont be able to fill the 5 2 2 col below it. This means you can fill the first and second col of 5 4 1, and in turn, fill the second col of 5 1 3 1 and cross the second col of 1 2 1 2 1.
Thats all i can think of from this point. Im sure you can find more once you cross and fill out the cells since my understanding is limited if i dont see the image filled and crossed. Do let me know if you need more questions!

Oh wow, you really put a lot of thought and effort into this reply, thank you very much!
This screenshot is from the game Nonozle. The beginning nonos are a little boring and too easy, but I am very satisfied with the challenge the later puzzles provide. Can recommend it - and it regularly goes on sale for 0,75 €.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, it is a nono. I like nonos :)
Thanks for mentioning the game name! No, i was not completely thinking what the game is and saying thanks because you somehow manage to read my mind and answering it. No, not at all :p
But honestly, i just checked the game and it looks nice. And it has 300 nonos. I'll check it out after i finished my current nonos. Thanks again! :)

Rows 4, 5 and 6,
Column 14,
You can add X's because either the blocked in space to the left is the "1" or the end of the "5" but no matter what, it will be an "X"
Then you can fill in the "3" at the top of column 14, and go from there.
Column = up/down
Row = left/right

This one is without giveaway as I can not edit text after creation. I will create one with giveaway later. I wanted to share this one as it is very chalanging for 11x11. I am wandering if others will find it hard. I havent solved it yet. Actualy I might be stuck at the moment. I do not use guessing when solving.

Mhm. Was pretty smoth sailing... and now it's just guesswork. <.<

Ok, in the end no guesswork. My bad. Liked it :3

tough one, took me about 20mins.. never did I use crosses this extensively before! xD

Took me about 10 minutes, no guesswork needed, so not too bad.

Took me about 3 minutes for easy part, about 3 more looking for possible missed squares, then I took 50/50 and finished in about 2 minutes, so in the end about 8-9 minutes.

Nice one - it had a slow start for a 11x11 - but got it in the end

Hard one indeed, but definitely can be done without any guessing.

Hard in the start, but once you get the critical point, the rest is easy.

took me about 8 minutes, 1.5 of which were staring blank at the board to see what i missed

Bump, thanks for the nono!

It wasn't hard, I completed it in +- 5 minutes without any guessing. I started with 1/1/5 column and 2/3/2 + 2/4 rows - then it was straightforward ;-)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have started this with those row and columns. Let see if I will be able to solve it. But I think I am not using all the logic tips for nono solving.
Comment has been collapsed.
I found this one (After solving a lot of nonos) to be a hard start.
Can you hint at what you made of of the rows info?
Comment has been collapsed.
It is just something you can mark as a starting point, as there is not much to start with. Column is more importent at the begining to build from. Then when you are at half solved those rows matter.
Here is the picture of half solved nono. Do not look at it if you do not want to see spoilers.

Ok, have solved it now on desktop. I don not see any errors on phone where I was stuck. Will continue know on phone to solve it there also.
Comment has been collapsed.
no need to use guess solving.
this nono is good because you need to use different kind of logic to fill or cross a square
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I am probably missing some kind of logic tips. I will have to check again some websites with tips for nono solving.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you probably are missing some way to find some "X" to help you.
edit for example, when you need a 2 but there is blue square 3 squares away the first square cannot be blue by logic because it can only be possible to be a 1 or 3+
Comment has been collapsed.
I have checked some sites, and have not found any new tips that I am not using already. I have solved it finally on desktop, but I am wandering now where I was stuck on phone.

Didn't need to guess. Took about 5 min. Was a bit frustrating at first but got it. Abcd3
Comment has been collapsed.
I never tried guessing in a nonogram. this was challenging indeed, made a few mistakes, used Undo several times but it's solvable all right.
Comment has been collapsed.
The start was a bit tough, but in the end it was a nice one - on the harder side, but nice. 😊
Comment has been collapsed.
I have solved it finaly and found where I was stuck. It seems I was stuck at this step. I do not see any other way to continue but with x at the last row. Is that correct?
Edit1: added 2nd option as was explained in comments.
Comment has been collapsed.
of course! fun puzzle for me, no guessing... definitely not for ppl who don't. nono often tho... hey, y'all know about sites like nonograms.org? there are much less forgiving ones out there :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the link, new to me.
Somehow nonos at Steamgifts give extra magic thrill, you solve it, go to giveaway link, read comments there, maybe also enter that giveaway, bump on hidden nono train in comments,... 🙂
Comment has been collapsed.
I have checked solving methods at the linked site, they are good, I recomend to other to check it out, and have found one which I was not using so far, at least not knowingly - "Double positioning". Thanks once more for the link.
Comment has been collapsed.
So lets agree to a coordinate system. We'll use X,Y, where X is Column and Y is row, measuring from Left to Right and Top to Bottom.
I'm going to assume you have everything right so far.
Youre right that 7,11 has to be an X, because Col 7 is [2 4] and the 4 cant extend the that space.
Observe that 2,5 has to be an X because Col 2 is [3 3] so theres no room for the 3 to fit in the 1 sized gap.
And because 2,5 is an X, 1,5 must also be an X because Row 5 [3 2] starts with a 3 and you cant fit a 3 in a 1 gap.
And because 1,5 is an X, what must 1,4 be, considering Col 1 [1 3] already has its 1 in space 1,1?
Returning to Row 5; since 1,5 and 2,5 are X's, we now have 4 spaces to fill with a 3, so what does that tell us about 4,5 and 5,5?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, yes, that one too, thanks. I have used that later, have not seen it at this point. Thanks 🙂
No 3rd option at this step?
Comment has been collapsed.
Next step is to examine Col 2, because thatll add a useful X to a particular Row.
Then consider whether you know which 2 youve filled in on Row 11
Also mark off the 1 youve filled in on Col 5 (at 5,11). Then consider whether you know what goes in 5,10
-Which will tell you what goes in the right half of Row 10
Youre actually insanely close to cracking it after this post.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can make an X where the gaps aren't big enough for the groups, for example 2nd column, and then that same line the same principle again for another X. My words are maybe confusing because we all have different terminology and different ways to think, but it should be clear when looking at the 2nd column and that single free space that in fact can only be an X.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the puzzle, very fun. Took me quite a bit at the start 'cause I was overlooking something.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I see what you mean. It starts pretty straight forward and then gets more challenging towards the end as there's a lot of apparent uncertainty, although once I noticed what I was missing the rest fell into place right away.
Comment has been collapsed.
For me even start was chalanging, but somehow managed it. Then got stuck at the middle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Finished it, but yes, I found it hard. And in the end, I just started at one corner and tried two or three different things until I must have gotten the correct set up and finally finished.

Announcements
2025-01-07 - New code update!
I have updated the game with many improvements! See this post for details!
2025-01-02 - 2025 Edition Begins!
Hello everyone!
First of all Happy New Year to everyone, I wish you all a lovely 2025 <3
Back in 2020, I made the first version of the Nonogram Café, it was a lot of fun but it was quite tedious to create and play the puzzles.
A week ago I started looking at different alternatives online, and finally gave up, and made my own creator and player instead.
So I officially present to you my fully online, fully interactive nonogram player! ^^
Which comes with a nonogram creator, naturally. Look below for the link to it!
I will post a new nonogram weekly, leading to a giveaway each. Giveaways will end one week after the next for fun all year round!
Now you get to play; let's get cracking!™ ;)
