Hanjie Puzzles
Hanjie is the name by which nonograms became known in British newspapers in the 1990s. The puzzle itself is the same: number clues for each row and column describe blocks of filled cells, and solving them reveals a hidden picture.
This page opens a 15×15 hanjie. Choose a smaller grid in the menu if you're new, or try the daily 10×10 on the homepage.
Hanjie in five steps
- Read the clues for a row or column.
- Fill any cells that must be filled.

- Move to a crossing line and use the new information.
- Repeat until the picture appears.
A little history
Picture logic puzzles of this kind were published in Japan in the late 1980s and spread to the UK, where they were printed under the name hanjie and later nonograms. Today they're known by many names, including picross and griddlers.
