Manulogram
Hi there! And today I’ve got a puzzle for you👀
This photo hides a manul. But to see it, you’ll need to solve a crossword. A Japanese crossword, also known as a nonogram
The rules are as follows: the number of digits shows how many groups of cells are in the corresponding row or column, and the digits themselves show how many contiguous cells each of these groups contains. If the color of a group repeats, it means there is a gap of at least one empty cell between them. If the colors are different, the groups may go one after another or with a gap between them.
Example of solved columns:
I’ll say right away: this isn’t a specific manul, but rather a collective image of a wild steppe kitty🐈️
You can solve it in any graphics editor, print it out on a printer, or on the nonograms website
The crossword turned out to be quite difficult, so I’ll give you a small hint — it’s easiest to start with the very bottom row, where the colors begin right away and go on without spaces✍️
Good luck solving it, and have a great day🫶

I think it could even be assembled from beads like this, practically
Вика, I thought it was a cross-stitch pattern)
l83, Haha, well, by the way... This really might work (though I guess it’s been a long time since I last did any embroidery😅) If this interested you, here’s the crossword solution
Cool! I’ve solved ones like these before, but only black-and-white ones, and this one’s in color!
that’s so cool 🤩🐾❤️ I love pictograms so much
