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.

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
- 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.
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.
