Logic-only solutionsOne fair DailyNo forced ads
Latchward is a calm nonogram built around one promise: every shipped puzzle has exactly one solution, reachable by logic alone. Paint a whole stroke, undo or redo it as one thought, and keep the clues in view while larger boards move beneath them. Climb a measured 180-puzzle ladder, generate fresh practice boards, or solve the same server-verified Daily as everyone else.
Daily free · $4.99 full unlock · Play Pass available
How it plays
Clear rules, real identity, and a reason to improve.
Every board is proved
The shipped ladder and generated Daily boards are checked for one solution and a logic-only solve path. Difficulty comes from measured deduction, not hidden guessing.
Paint a whole thought
Fill or cross several cells in one stroke, see the live count, then undo or redo that stroke as a single decision. Auto-cross and clue dimming stay under your control.
Ask for logic, not an answer
The optional hint applies one cell that the current clues logically force and remains fully undoable. It is disabled during the ranked Daily so paid access never changes the competition.
One honest board every day
Everyone receives the same witnessed UTC puzzle. The server replays a signed-in player's move log before accepting the ranked result; signed-out and archive solves stay clearly unranked.
Why we built it
Too many nonogram games turn a quiet deduction puzzle into an ad funnel, a life system, or a guessing game. Latchward keeps the clues readable, the controls quick, and the rules honest.
Who it is for
Puzzle players who want a calm daily logic ritual, tactile controls, measurable difficulty, and no forced ads, lives, energy, or paid leaderboard advantage.
How a run works
Read a line → latch the forced cells → cross the known spaces → reveal the picture → review the solve → return for tomorrow's shared Daily.
The Daily stays free. Unlock the full ladder when you want it.
Today's Daily, the tutorial, the first 12 ladder puzzles, and one fresh practice board a day remain free.
