Nonogram: from controls to your first round
Make Nonogram your next activity in the game library. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.
Something to practise
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you need to achieve
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Getting comfortable with the 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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See the idea in action
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
A useful caution
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
