How to play Nonogram
Nonogram gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
