Nonogram: learn through an example

Read the aim of Nonogram, then make your first move. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.

A small practice goal

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

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. The example below illustrates a decision.

How to proceed

  1. Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
  2. Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
  3. Combine row and column deductions.
  4. 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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

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. Consider the next action carefully.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
