Nonogram: instructions and practice

Open Nonogram, check the instructions and begin a round. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Give this approach a try

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The order of play

  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 interact with the game

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. Check any mode label before starting.

A closer look at one 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. Look for the relevant detail.

A common point of confusion

Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
