Read the aim of Nonogram, then make your first move. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.

What counts as success
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Controls

Learn from a sample situation
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
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.
