Nonogram: rules and examples
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. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
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. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Start here and follow along
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example before you play
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Where a round can go wrong
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
