How to play Nonogram

This AWTKANAPOLI page combines Nonogram with a guide to the decisions it asks you to make. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use rules before speed to give your round a clear purpose.

Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.

Rules before speed

Work slowly for one round. Explain the rule behind each choice before trying to improve your score or completion time.

Your goal

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution.

A useful example

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one.

Watch out for this

Do not merge two separate runs.
