What are Nonogram Puzzles?

Nonogram puzzles, also known as Picross or Griddlers, are logic-based grid puzzles where players use numeric clues along rows and columns to fill in or leave blank squares, revealing a hidden pixel art image. The numbers indicate consecutive groups of filled squares, separated by at least one blank square.

If you aren’t familiar with the process of solving a nonogram puzzle, this free PDF demo book from Griddlers.net has a great visual of the rules for solving that I often use with students.

Groundhog Day Nonogram Puzzle Instructions

I’ve been creating seasonal and holiday-specific puzzles to use in my own classroom as part of my puzzles of the week. I wasn’t entirely sure what sort of groundhog day puzzles I was going to be able to come up with until I remembered how much I loved nonogram puzzles as a high school student.

So, I am happy to present you with my first ever nonogram puzzle creation!

Use the numeric clues provided above and to the left of the grid to form a groundhog day image.

The numbers identify consecutive groups of filled squares. If there are two or more numbers in a row or column, the groups are separated by at least one blank square.
