The Nonogram playbook

Open Nonogram, check the instructions and begin a round. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.

Bring this focus to a round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Input guidance

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Follow the 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. Check the stated objective.

A useful caution

Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
