The essentials of playing Nonogram
Choose a round of Nonogram and settle into its rules. 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.
Something to practise
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
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.
Making your moves
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Try this example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Pay attention to this rule
Do not merge two separate runs. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
