This easy color nonogram features a hidden classic character that you will need to uncover one square at a time.

The puzzle starts with a blank 15×15 grid. As you work through the numbered clues, sections of colorful pixel art begin to appear. You may get a few clues about the character from the colors and shapes, but the full picture stays a mystery until the puzzle is complete.

The 15×15 grid makes this a comfortable size for beginners and casual solvers. It is small enough to finish in one sitting while still allowing the hidden character to have recognizable details.

Whether you call it a nonogram, Picross, Griddler, or Picture Logic Puzzle, the goal is the same: use the clues and your logic skills to reveal the image.

Think you can identify the character before the last square?

A nonogram is a picture logic puzzle that uses numbers to tell you which squares to fill.

Each number represents a group of consecutive filled squares. When there is more than one number, each number represents a separate group. There must be at least one empty square between groups.

By working with the clues across both the rows and columns, you can figure out where the filled squares belong.

As you solve more clues, the hidden picture starts to appear.

Nonograms may also be called:

• Picross puzzles
• Griddlers
• Picture Cross Puzzles
• Picture Logic Puzzles
• Japanese Crosswords
• Paint-by-Numbers Logic Puzzles

• Numbers show groups of consecutive filled squares.
• The groups must appear in the order shown by the clues.
• There must be at least one empty square between separate groups.
• Row and column clues work together to help solve the grid.
• Use logic rather than guessing whenever possible.

Beginner Tip: Start with the rows and columns that have the largest numbers. These often give you the easiest squares to fill first.

Once you have a few squares filled, check the clues that cross those squares. One solved section can often help you work out several others.

Watching a blank grid turn into a picture is one of the best parts of solving a nonogram.

At first, you may only see a few scattered squares. As you work through the clues, the picture becomes easier to recognize. Sometimes you will know what the character is before the puzzle is completely finished.

Printable nonograms are also a simple screen free activity for quiet afternoons, family activities, classrooms, homeschool, travel, or relaxing at home.

They’re great for:

• Quiet evenings
• Family game nights
• Homeschool activities
• Classroom enrichment
• Road trips
• Vacation downtime
• Rainy afternoons
• Screen free relaxation
• Logic puzzle collections
• Classic animation fans

Want a small hint without giving away the answer?

This character comes from the world of classic animation and has been recognizable to generations of fans.

As the picture appears, look for a familiar silhouette and a distinctive accessory. You may be able to figure out the answer before you reach the last few squares.

That’s all the help we’re giving you!
