Nonogram: what to know before playing
Nonogram gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.
The challenge in front of you
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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.
Getting comfortable with 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See the idea in action
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 controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
