I've been getting really into nonograms lately. However, I can't get a great source for difficult nonograms.

One app which I play on generates puzzles, which are decently tough, but never really require any thinking, just scratchwork. And I've got that down to a science by now.

The other app which I play on relies on user-created nonograms, but to be quite frank, most of those just plain suck :/. If you sort by "difficulty," you just get these massive 30x30 puzzles that aren't hard, just boring.

This might be a bad question. For sudoku, I had a similar problem. The apps I was on were just feeding me randomized puzzles solvable with naive techniques. Then I found logic-masters.de. I think, though, the sudoku setting community only exists because the ruleset of sudoku affords advanced techniques to set incredibly probing puzzles. Maybe, because nonograms have a simpler rule set, there just aren't that many cool solving techniques to manipulate as a setter, so there's just no setting community for them.

I can't find much of anything on the topic, so anything is welcome!

    I’m voting to close this question because we can't offer recommendations, sorry. They just don't fit with our format, which expects questions to have stable answers, instead of an open-ended list which will likely change significantly over time. – bobble Feb 11 '23 at 04:11
  • I know one such Web site. Here. – msh210 Feb 11 '23 at 17:26
  • @msh210 A lot of the posts on the nonogram tag are 1. help me with this nonogram; 2. insanely big nonogram that relies on size for difficulty; 3. variant. Not what I'm looking for :/ – rhkoulen Feb 11 '23 at 21:09

    Try https://www.puzzle-nonograms.com/. I haven't done their nonograms but their tapas seem to be man-made with pleasing symmetry and satisfying deductions. – caPNCApn Feb 12 '23 at 06:19
