Figure puzzle #40 Large: a 15 by 15 nonogram with run clues along the top and left side, the upper half of the grid filled in dark squares and the timer at 0:00

Figure is a free browser nonogram game with a puzzle of the day, the same for everyone, plus a catalogue of 43 hand-drawn pictures to play at any time. Every puzzle is checked by a solver so it can be finished one line at a time without a guess. Clues turn grey when their line matches and red when what you have filled in makes the line impossible.

About Figure (Stew Prod)

Figure is a nonogram game, also known as picross. Numbers down the side and along the top give the lengths of the filled runs in each row and column, in order, with at least one empty cell between runs. Work out where each run sits and a small pixel picture comes out of the grid. When you finish, the picture is revealed and named.

The Today's button opens the puzzle of the day, chosen from the catalogue by the calendar date, so everyone plays the same one that day and a new one comes up after midnight. The 43 puzzles come in four sizes, from Small at 5x5 to Huge at 20x20, and are rated gentle, steady or stiff by a solver. Every one has been checked to be solvable line by line, so if you are stuck there is a line somewhere with more to give. A clue goes grey when its line matches it and red as soon as your marks make it impossible, without saying which cell is wrong. The clock starts at your first mark, and you can copy your result to share it.

The Puzzles list lets you play any of the others, and a puzzle keeps its name hidden until you have solved it. Figure has light and dark themes, keyboard controls and no sound, and needs no sign-up. It is made by Stew Prod and was released free on itch.io in October 2026; the page discloses AI assistance for code and graphics.

Tips

  • Start with the biggest clues: a run longer than half its line always covers the middle cells.
  • Cross out cells as you prove them empty; the game's own help says skipping this is how you get stuck.
  • If a clue turns red, something in that line is wrong, so check that line before going further.
