Nonogram: instructions and practice
Start Nonogram by looking at the playing area and its controls. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Try a more deliberate 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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example to follow
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
