The essentials of playing Nonogram
Nonogram gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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.
