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. Also, maybe they changed the ad issues, I haven’t yet been interrupted in the middle of a game.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. It’s not the worst I’ve seen, but it’s very basic. I don’t buy hints, and I can still only play a few puzzles each day before I run out and have to wait for my whopping 10 coin daily gift. The coin issue is annoying, I’d like to not be limited on how many games I can play in a day. Another issue I have is that you can’t close out the app without losing all your progress. It doesn’t have the bold grid lines every 5 squares that save you a lot of extra counting.

It’s biggest issue is that if you scroll to block out a whole line, it allows it to cross into other lines. I’ve played a lot of these games, this one has a decent format, it’s clear and easy to see, but is lacking a lot. What’s the incentive to keep playing this game? There are better ones out there. I’ve never used a hint and somehow it seems I’m being penalized. The first 40 levels are beginner levels anyway. Edited: I’m at level 60 just now, I get my 10 free coins of the day, finished it in 2 minutes, and literally could only play one game today before not having enough for the next.
