2022 Picture Sweep Answers
How Puzzle Page Picture Sweep Works
A minesweeper-style deduction puzzle. The numbers tell you how many marked cells touch them, and clearing the grid reveals the picture.
Tips for Puzzle Page Picture Sweep
- 1
A number equal to its count of unknown neighbours means all of them are marked.
- 2
A number already satisfied means every remaining neighbour is safe.
- 3
Compare two adjacent numbers — the difference between them often settles a shared cell.
- 4
Corners and edges have fewer neighbours, so they resolve first.
- 5
A numbered cell whose count equals its unopened neighbours means every one of those neighbours is marked. That is the fastest rule on the board.
- 6
Compare two adjacent numbers. The difference between them often identifies exactly which shared cells are safe to open.

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.
