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.
Shamrock Nonogram Puzzle Instructions
Use the numeric clues provided above and to the left of the grid to form the image of a shamrock.
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.

Puzzle Solutions
Puzzle solutions are available on a password-protected solution page. I do not openly post the puzzle answer keys because one of my goals as a resource creator is to craft learning experiences for students that are non-google-able. I want teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms without the solutions being found easily on the Internet.
Please email me at sarah@mathequalslove.net for the password to the answer key database featuring all of my printable puzzles and math worksheets. I frequently have students emailing me for the answer key, so please specify in your email what school you teach at and what subjects you teach. If you do not provide these details, I will not be able to send you the password.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, or as fun activities in their workplace. Just give me enough details so I know you are not a student looking for answers to the puzzle that was assigned as their homework!
