Read before your next round of Nonogram
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Nonogram. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
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.
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.
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A closer look at one example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
