Nonogram: a guide for your next round
Bring your attention to one round of Nonogram. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Bring this focus to a round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Start here and follow along
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
See the idea in action
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
An important reminder
Do not merge two separate runs. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
