Crosshatch is a nonogram: numbers down the side, numbers across the top, and a picture hidden in the grid. Work out which squares to fill and the picture appears. The work went into making the puzzles fair and into the paper it is all drawn on.
Every puzzle is pure logic
You fill a square because the numbers tell you to. Every picture is checked by a solver before it goes in the app. It must be solvable by thinking alone, and it must have exactly one answer.
A color picture passes that test twice: once with the colors as part of the puzzle, and once in black and white. You can play it either way.
Features
- Dozens of pictures in sets: Animals, Sea and Sky, Garden, Household, Travel and Objects. Sizes from a quick 15 × 15 to a tall 25 × 35 that fills the whole screen. Every one is yours from the first time you open the app.
- Hints when you are stuck. Tap Hint and it points at the row or column you can work on next, and tells you which number to look at. You still do the thinking, and hints are free.
- Three ways to play. Classic is the normal way: fill the squares, make mistakes, and work them out from the numbers yourself. Guided tells you as soon as a square is wrong, and counts your mistakes for you. Strict counts your mistakes: three on an easy picture, up to seven on a hard one. Use them all and the picture starts again.
- Undo and redo as much as you like.
- Play any picture in color, where the numbers are colored too, or in black and white, and watch the picture color itself in as you go.
- Pick your paper. Pinch to zoom on a big grid; the numbers stay next to the grid where you can read them.
- Share a finished picture with a friend, with one tap.
- Save everything to a file you keep, and open it on another phone: the pictures you have finished, your times, and the board you are halfway through.
- Works offline, and everything it remembers stays on your phone.
- Available in English, 日本語, 中文, 한국어, हिन्दी, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, Filipino and Português.
