Zebra nonogram puzzle books for Amazon KDP & Etsy

A nonogram whose clue strips alternate like a zebra’s stripes. In the 1st, 3rd, 5th … row and column (shaded) the numbers give the blocks of filled squares, in order — a classic nonogram clue. In the 2nd, 4th … (white) they give the runs of empty squares. Filling the squares by logic reveals a hidden picture.

The white lines count the gaps instead of the blocks. A white line is solved like a classic line with filled and empty swapped, so it may start and end with filled squares. Solvers who know classic nonograms get a fresh challenge with the same pictures.

Yes. A solver works every puzzle out with the zebra rule and the logic of its difficulty before it is printed. If the numbers alone would allow two pictures, a few squares are printed as givens, so the solver — and your reader — always reaches the one picture.

Counting empty squares on every second line is a step up from classic nonograms, so zebra books come in the Standard and Senior (large print) editions. For children, make a Kids nonogram book instead.

Yes. Upload PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF images or draw in the pixel editor: the image is converted into black and white squares in your browser, checked for one solution with the zebra rule and saved with your project. Use only images you have the rights to.

Wisdom Effect then prints the texts it writes into the book in that language: puzzle and solution titles, chapter headings, the table of contents, difficulty labels, the copyright page (10 legal templates), the intro and thank-you pages and the labels on the puzzle pages, seasonal editions included. Zebra nonograms have no words: the title, the instruction and the difficulty line follow the book language. Library picture names are English, so books in other languages print the names of your own pictures only. Texts you write yourself are not translated, so write them in the book's language. Starter and Pro books are printed in English.
