About Nonogram
Use row and column number clues to reproduce one of seven fixed 5×5 patterns by filling exactly the required cells. Every puzzle is 5×5 and is randomly selected from seven fixed solution patterns.
Row and column hints are calculated from contiguous runs of filled solution cells. A solve checks only whether filled cells exactly match the solution; X marks on empty cells are allowed.
How to Play Nonogram
1Use the row and column numbers to infer groups of consecutive filled cells.
2Left-click a cell to fill or unfill it; right-click to toggle an X mark.
3Fill exactly the solution cells to complete the puzzle and load another after 1.2 seconds.
Nonogram Rules
- A filled cell must match a filled cell in the hidden solution; extra filled cells prevent completion.
- X marks are optional aids and are treated as unfilled for the win check.
- New Puzzle changes the pattern without increasing the level; solving is what raises the level.
