Read before your next round of Nonogram
Try Nonogram at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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

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. Take a moment to understand the current position.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Notice this detail
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
