How to Play

Fantasy Mosaics 9 – PORTAL in the WOODS is a nonogram game. Don’t worry. The only math skill you need is the ability to count from one to twenty.

In a nonogram game, the numbers on the side and top of the grid are your clues to where to place the colored tiles. For instance, if a column has 10, 2 on the top, that column will have a block of ten colored tiles, and a block of two colored tiles. There must be at least one blank space between blocks of colored tiles.

Each puzzle has three colors. Click the Circle to the right of the grid to switch between colors. Below the circle you will see one or more X. One X will light up every time you make a mistake. If you make too many mistakes you must start the puzzle over.

You can also use Hints. A small circle beside the penguin on the top right of the screen shows how many Hints you have. The number will increase as you make progress solving the puzzle.

Keep an eye on the sunburst above the Color button. When this is fully charged, click on it and you can fill in a part of the board that you choose.

Tips and Tricks

• Fill in the biggest numbers first. Sometimes filling in large number going one way you gives you valuable clues for going the other way.
• Switch colors. If you are struggling, switching to a different color may help. Don’t be afraid to cycle through the colors many times as you solve these puzzles.
• Start from the outside. When you place a colored tile on the edge of the puzzle, you know exactly how many colored tiles you can mark off from that edge.
