These are the answers to the Puzzle Page Picture Cross for December 25, 2024, puzzle ID 25708. The board below is the completed 12×12 grid exactly as it looks in the app once every square is filled , and this one carries the theme Happy Holidays.

Picture Cross is one of 20 puzzle types published in Puzzle Page, and this date carried 9 puzzles in total — you can see all of them on the December 25, 2024 page. To work through this game date by date, use the full Picture Cross archive, or step back to December 24, 2024.

Picture puzzles are solved by shading cells rather than writing answers, so the board above is the completed image. Comparing one band of rows at a time is usually enough to see where your count went wrong, and the shape becomes obvious well before the last squares are filled.

Puzzle Page numbers each game separately, so the ID on this page belongs to Picture Cross alone — a Sudoku published the same day carries a different one. If the grid here stops matching your screen the app has been updated; say so in the comments and it gets re-checked. Every grid on this site is captured from the finished puzzle rather than copied from another answers site.

What is Picture Cross?
A nonogram. The numbers beside each row and column say how many squares are filled and in what runs. Filling them correctly reveals a picture.
Why is the answer an image rather than letters?
Because the solution to a nonogram is the picture itself. The completed board is the only meaningful form of the answer, which is how it is stored here.
Do the numbers tell me where the runs go?
They give the order and the length of each run but not the gaps between them. Working out the gaps is the puzzle.

Tips for Puzzle Page Picture Cross

  1. 1

    Start with the largest clues — a run close to the grid width has very little freedom.

  2. 2

    Overlap is the key technique: shade the cells a run must cover no matter where it sits.

  3. 3

    Mark cells you know are empty as well as filled; empties constrain the neighbours just as much.

  4. 4

    When a row is complete, immediately re-read every column it crosses.

  5. 5

    The emerging picture is a real clue — once the shape is recognisable, the rest goes quickly.

  6. 6

    Overlap the extremes: push a clue as far left as it will go, then as far right, and any square filled in both passes is certainly filled.

  7. 7

    Mark the definite blanks as well as the fills. Known empty squares split a row into shorter segments and shorter segments are far easier to solve.
