Love Picross & Nonograms? Try Nodes Next

If you enjoy Picross and Nonograms, you'll love Nodes. Both are logic puzzles that reward you with a hidden image — but Nodes uses geometry instead of grids. Connect dots, form triangles, and watch colorful artwork appear.

A free daily puzzle you can play in your browser or on iOS and Android. The perfect addition to your picture puzzle routine.

Why Picross Fans Love Nodes

  • Solve to reveal — just like Picross, every move uncovers part of a hidden image
  • Logic-based — use the number clues on each dot to figure out where lines go
  • Visual payoff — completed puzzles reveal colorful low-poly artwork, not just pixel grids
  • 10–20 minute sessions — similar pacing to a medium Nonogram puzzle
  • Free daily puzzle — a new puzzle every day, no signup needed

How Nodes Compares to Picross & Nonograms

In Picross (also known as Nonograms), you fill cells in a grid based on number clues to reveal a pixel art image. In Nodes, you connect dots to form triangles — each correct triangle fills with color, gradually revealing a geometric illustration.

The core satisfaction is the same: using logic to progressively uncover a hidden picture. Picross gives you pixel art; Nodes gives you vibrant low-poly illustrations. If you love that "reveal moment," Nodes delivers it in a fresh, geometric way.

What Are Picture Logic Puzzles?

Picture logic puzzles — including Picross, Nonograms, Griddlers, and Hanjie — are a genre where solving a logic puzzle reveals a hidden image. Nodes belongs to this family with a twist: instead of a rectangular grid, you work with dots and triangles on a freeform canvas. The result is a colorful piece of geometric art you helped create.

What Our Players Say

"I've been doing Nonograms for years and Nodes scratches the same itch in a totally new way."
"The artwork reveals are so satisfying — every puzzle feels like creating something beautiful."
"Love that it's the same idea as Picross — solve the puzzle, see the picture — but with triangles and color."
