THE PLAYBOOK · MASYYSP
Read before your next round of Nonogram
Choose a round of Nonogram and settle into its rules. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
A focus for your next round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. 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. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- 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.
How your actions work
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Pay attention to this rule
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.
