Play Nonogram with the rules at hand
Take a moment with Nonogram before moving to another game. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Try a more deliberate round
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
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.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Getting comfortable with 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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
See how the rules apply
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
