Bells & Whistles

What is Bells & Whistles?

Bells & Whistles is a daily logic puzzle where you fill a grid with two symbols—bells and whistles—based on row and column clues. It plays like a nonogram but with two types of marks, requiring careful deduction to match the given group numbers.

How to play Bells & Whistles

Each row has a label showing groups of bells, e.g., '3 1' means a group of three bells followed by one bell, with at least one empty cell between groups. Columns give the same kind of clues for whistles. Click a cell to place a bell, click again to change it to a whistle, and a third click clears it; right-click cycles in the opposite order.

Tips & strategy

• Start with rows or columns that have large groups or numbers that sum close to the grid size, as they give the most information.
• Remember that groups of the same symbol must be separated by at least one empty cell, so use that to mark impossible positions.
• Watch for rows or columns whose labels turn green—they are solved, and you can click the label to fill remaining empty cells with the opposite symbol.
• Use the undo and reset buttons freely to experiment with placements without losing progress.
• If you get stuck, try focusing on the intersection of a nearly solved row and column to narrow down the possibilities.
