Find your footing in Nonogram
Open Nonogram, check the instructions and begin a round. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Build familiarity through play
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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Controls
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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful 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. Consider the next action carefully.
One detail worth checking
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.
