THE PLAYBOOK · HKCYJC
Read before your next round of Nonogram
Read the aim of Nonogram, then make your first move. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Practice beyond the first move
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you are aiming for
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
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.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Keep this in mind
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.
