THE PLAYBOOK · XQIN8
Read before your next round of Nonogram
Take a moment with Nonogram before moving to another game. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
One thing to notice as you play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
How to proceed
- 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
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Try this example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
A useful caution
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
