A practical guide to Nonogram
Read the aim of Nonogram, then make your first move. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
An idea for your next attempt
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.
What you are aiming for
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Making selections and moves
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
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. Read the matching step again.
Keep this in mind
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.
