The Nonogram playbook

Choose a round of Nonogram and settle into its rules. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.

Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.

Practice beyond the first move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

From the start of a round

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.

A closer look at one example

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

A common point of confusion

Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
