How we write
The field notes exist to answer nonogram questions properly — rules, techniques, history, and what a quiet puzzle habit does for attention. This page explains how the writing gets made.
AI-assisted, human-reviewed
We draft with AI assistance. Every article is researched against published sources, reviewed by a person before it goes live, and edited for accuracy and for the way we like sentences to sound. Nothing is published unread.
Sources and facts
Factual claims trace to the sources listed at the end of each article. When we describe research — on puzzles, attention, or wellbeing — we cite the study rather than paraphrase a headline, and we prefer careful language ("may help") over promises.
Wellbeing writing is not medical advice
Some essays touch on focus, stress, and winding down. They describe research and personal practice, not treatment. If you are struggling, a puzzle app is not the answer and a professional is.
Corrections
If something is wrong, write to support@pairwisetech.io and we will fix the article and note the update date.
Why the blog exists
Nonogram Zen is a paid app; the blog is how people find it. We would rather earn that attention with writing that is actually useful than with volume. If an article ever reads like filler, that is a bug — tell us.
