Play Nonogram with the rules at hand

Bring your attention to one round of Nonogram. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

Build familiarity through play

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

The challenge in front of you

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

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.

How to use the 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. Look at the feedback after the action.

Follow the example

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

Do not merge two separate runs. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
