How Puzzle Page Picture Cross Works
A nonogram. The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many cells to shade and in what order; the finished shading forms a picture.
Tips for Puzzle Page Picture Cross
- 1
Start with the largest clues — a run close to the grid width has very little freedom.
- 2
Overlap is the key technique: shade the cells a run must cover no matter where it sits.
- 3
Mark cells you know are empty as well as filled; empties constrain the neighbours just as much.
- 4
When a row is complete, immediately re-read every column it crosses.
- 5
The emerging picture is a real clue — once the shape is recognisable, the rest goes quickly.
- 6
Overlap the extremes: push a clue as far left as it will go, then as far right, and any square filled in both passes is certainly filled.
- 7
Mark the definite blanks as well as the fills. Known empty squares split a row into shorter segments and shorter segments are far easier to solve.

3 Tips for Puzzle Page
The board is the whole puzzle
Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.
Place the longest answer first
Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.
Neighbouring levels are the best hint
Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.
How to Solve a Puzzle Page Level
The order that clears a board fastest.
Read what you are given
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Anchor with the answers you are sure of
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify these answers
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
