Nonogram: from controls to your first round

Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
One thing to notice as you play
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- 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.
Using the playing area
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Work through an example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
