Play Nonogram with the rules at hand
Start Nonogram by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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.
Give this approach a try
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- 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.
Your inputs
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A common point of confusion
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
