👏 A Heartfelt Thank You from the Developers
Pete Williamson, CEO of puzzling.com, shared a heartfelt message:
"Ten years ago, we started with a simple idea: to make nonograms accessible, beautiful, and endlessly replayable. Thanks to our amazing community, Picture Cross has become more than a game — it’s a global pastime, a mental workout, and a canvas for art. We’re just getting started. 2025 has big plans… stay tuned."
