Play Nonogram with the rules at hand

Nonogram gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you need to achieve

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Making your moves

  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.

How your actions work

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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Follow the example

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. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
