Free printable nonogram puzzles

A nonogram is a picture puzzle. The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many squares in a row to fill in. Fill them all in right, and a small picture appears.

Start with a 5 by 5 grid. When you are ready, try 10 by 10 or 15 by 15. The numbers are printed big and bold, and the answer page shows the finished picture.
