Learn the rules of Nonogram

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. 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.

An idea for your next attempt

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Making selections and moves

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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
