Printable Nonograms

What is a printable Nonogram?

A Nonogram is a picture logic puzzle played on a grid. The numbers beside each row and column tell you the lengths of filled-cell groups in that line, in order.

Printable Nonograms are ideal for paper because you can mark filled cells, cross out confirmed empty spaces, and work through the clues at your own pace.

Which Nonogram PDF should you choose?

Start with 5x5 easy if you are new to Nonograms. The short rows make clue counting simple, and you can see the pattern emerge quickly.

The 10x10 PDFs are a strong everyday choice for solvers who understand the rules. The 15x15 PDFs are better for longer sessions, clearer pictures and more layered deduction.

• 5x5: best for beginners, children and quick breaks.
• 10x10: best for regular practice and balanced picture logic.
• 15x15: best for longer sessions and more detailed images.
• Hard: best once you are comfortable using overlap and empty-cell deductions.

Nonogram solving tips

Begin with rows or columns where the clues nearly fill the whole line. Those lines often reveal certain filled cells immediately through overlap.

Mark empty cells as carefully as filled cells. Confirmed blanks are often what separate clue groups and make the next deduction possible.

• Read clue groups in order from left to right or top to bottom.
• Use overlap when a clue group is too large to avoid certain cells.
• Separate clue groups with at least one empty cell.
• Check both row and column clues before committing uncertain cells.

Solutions are included

Every printable Nonogram PDF includes matching solution pages. Puzzle numbers and solution numbers line up, so checking a single puzzle is simple.

The PDFs use a language-neutral numbered layout inside the file, which lets the same downloads work across the English, French, Spanish and German pages.
