Mosaic (Inkwell Games)
Shade cells from the row and column numbers until a hidden picture appears.
Every day: One dated picture-logic grid each day, the same for every player, picked from a weekday selector. New puzzle: Once a day; the site does not state the time.
Mosaic is a daily nonogram-style puzzle from Inkwell Games. Numbers beside each row and above each column tell you how many cells to shade, and the solved grid reveals a picture.
About Mosaic (Inkwell Games)
Mosaic is the newest of the daily logic puzzles at Inkwell Games, a small puzzle site that also runs Fields, Stars and Loopy River. Each puzzle is dated and you can switch between the days of the current week from a row of weekday buttons.
The board is a grid with clue numbers around it. The numbers above a column describe the runs of shaded cells going down; the numbers next to a row describe the runs going across. Work out which cells must be shaded and which must stay blank, and a hidden picture appears when the grid is complete.
The daily is free. A subscription unlocks the archive (for Mosaic it starts on 24 August 2026), replays and a highlighter for notes.
