An introduction to playing 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. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
The challenge in front of you
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
From the start of a round
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A closer look at one 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. Check the stated objective.
One detail worth checking
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
