Bridges (aka "Hashi") is one of my all-time favorite logic puzzles. I recently discovered Galaxies, and I enjoy this one a lot too; I also like Slitherlink (called "Loopy" here) a lot. However this site is missing two that I like quite a bit more, which are Paint by Numbers & Battleships, both of which I originally started doing in Games Magazine and later found on Conceptis Puzzles [0] (they call PbN "Pic-A-Pix") where I bought $25 worth of credits maybe 20 years ago that have still kept me going to this day, every couple years I'll buy a week's puzzle bundle and then slowly go through them.
The other one I used to play a lot is Mamono Sweeper [1] One summer in undergrad when I was supposed to be doing graph theory research, instead I got really, really, really good at basic arithmetic by playing this game for 5+ hours a day. This is how I learned that I had no interest in math grad school and I now work as a developer in a video game-adjacent space.
Recently I made an online Pentominoes puzzle [2] and I've played it a lot also.
If anyone knows a good source of free Paint by Numbers puzzles I would love to hear about it!
SGT's Puzzle Collection does have a limited version of "Paint by Numbers". It's limited tho: only abstract patterns in black and white. It's called "Pattern".
there are a lot of apps yea, should've specified I wanna solve in my browser. I like doing gigantic puzzles (like at least 30x50) and seeing the whole board at once
Trademarking a generic term (that is descriptive of your product) has no legal relevance, even if the term is not generic at the time you trademark it.

https://nonograms-katana.com seems to have quite a few?
I found it by searching for the much more common name "picross".

Picross is somehow ended up being a trademark of Nintendo iirc

I am quite addicted to Suguru puzzles. I hope Simon gets to implement them some time.
