Nonogram: from controls to your first round

Start Nonogram by looking at the playing area and its controls. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.

A focus for your next round

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

Understand the aim

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Step by step

  1. Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
  2. Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
  3. Combine row and column deductions.
  4. Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.

Using the playing area

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. Use one clear input at a time.

Put the rules into context

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

Notice this detail

Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
