Play Nonogram with the rules at hand

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. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Build familiarity through play

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.

Aim for this result

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.

From the start of a round

  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.

Using the playing area

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.

One way to understand the rules

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

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.
