Nonoriddle

I stumbled on a puzzle blog called Puzzalot and discovered a new type of puzzle created by the author called nonoriddles.  A nonoriddle is a standard nonogram (paint-by-number, etc.) puzzle with an added twist.  All of the squares in a nonoriddle grid contain letters.  When all of the appropriate squares are filled in, the empty squares spell out a riddle to answer.  It’s actually a nice touch, because it gives you something satisfying at the end of a nonogram puzzle that isn’t necessarily a picture.  The interface for playing is also very nice.  Enjoy!

Wii Picross

For fans of picross puzzles (also sometimes called logic art or nonograms), the Wii Picross site is not to be missed.  The site has a great interface for solving the puzzles online and it allows users to create and submit their own puzzles.  As a result there are over 3500 puzzles available to play on the site.

The site is currently running a contest for puzzle submissions with the theme “Where You Are.”  Prizes include a Nintendo DS game or picross books.  Submissions will be accepted until May 18th.  Enjoy!
