The essentials of playing Nonogram
Bring your attention to one round of Nonogram. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Try a more deliberate round
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
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.
The order of play
- 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.
The controls to know
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A closer look at one 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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
