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

  1. Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
  2. Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
  3. Combine row and column deductions.
  4. 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.
