Can I still play the Nonogram puzzle from August 26, 2026?

Yes. Every puzzle stays playable in the archive, so you can open puzzle #23 and solve it yourself at any time.

What do the numbers on a nonogram actually mean?

Each number is the length of one unbroken run of shaded squares in that row or column, listed in order from left to right or top to bottom. Consecutive runs must be separated by at least one blank square, but the puzzle never tells you how big the gaps are.

Does every nonogram here have a single solution?

Yes. Each picture in the library was fed back through a counting solver that stops at the second solution. Anything ambiguous was redrawn until it was unique, so no guessing is ever required.

What size is the daily grid?

Ten squares by ten, one hundred cells in total. That is large enough for a real picture and small enough to finish in about ten minutes once you know the techniques.

Nonogram #23 in brief

A 10x10 grid: 47 of its 100 squares end up shaded, so a little under 47% of the picture is ink.
Row clues, top to bottom: 3 / 3 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 6 / 4.
Column clues, left to right: 1 / 1 3 / 7 / 7 / 7 / 8 / 2 1 3 / 3 1 / 2 / 1.
17 of the twenty clue strips carry a single unbroken run, and the busiest line breaks into 3. Start with the single-run lines — they settle without any cross-referencing.
