THE PLAYBOOK · ZZOMY
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. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.
Build familiarity through play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Check this before moving on
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
