Your guide to Nonogram
Try Nonogram at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Practice with a purpose
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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.
Getting comfortable with the 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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Follow the 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. Read the matching step again.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
