How to play Nonogram

A round of Nonogram at IHAHOOO begins with understanding the objective. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The learning focus here is build a repeatable approach, supported by the rule notes below.

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

Build a repeatable approach

Try a consistent sequence of observing, choosing and checking the result. Keep the sequence even when the position or challenge changes.

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.
