How to play Nonogram
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Nonogram. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
- Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
- Combine row and column deductions.
- Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
