Nonogram: instructions and practice
Make Nonogram your next activity in the game library. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Practice beyond the first move
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Making your moves
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Try this example
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
