Your guide to Nonogram
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. 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.
Practice with a purpose
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See the idea in action

A useful caution
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
