Every 5x5 Nonogram


A few weeks ago, I came across Every 5x5 Nonogram and it quickly earned an icon on my phone. If you've never done a nonogram, it's a small logic puzzle consisting of a grid and numbers along the left and top edges. The numbers tell you where to mark cells. Two numbers of filled in cells must be separated by at least one empty cell.

I did my first nonogram in Mario's Picross, a GameBoy game we enjoyed. My brothers and I would get to play until we made three mistakes and "died" before the level reset.

Anyways, Every 5x5 Nonogram was inspired by One Million Checkboxes and features...every possible valid 5x5 nonogram layout. There are over 24 million. From the website:

Every 5x5 Nonogram is a realtime, collaborative web game by Joel, creator of Pixelogic.

Can you help solve all 24,976,511 solvable 5x5 nonogram puzzles? Every puzzle has a unique solution and requires no guessing.

Solving a puzzle solves it for everyone else!

As of writing, we are nearly 50% done. Some favorites from my own solving:

A sad bald man

Godzilla!

Can you help finish?
