How to play Nonogram
Start Nonogram by looking at the playing area and its controls. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Keep the aim in sight
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.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. 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. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
