Getting started with Nonogram
Read the aim of Nonogram, then make your first move. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Give this approach a try
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Understand the aim
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
How to interact with the game
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
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. 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.
