The Nonogram playbook

Choose a round of Nonogram and settle into its rules. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.

One thing to notice as you play

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What counts as success

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Controls

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. Use one clear input at a time.

See the idea in action

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. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
