How to play Nonogram
Take a moment with Nonogram before moving to another game. 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 a steady rhythm
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
