Find your footing in Nonogram
Bring your attention to one round of Nonogram. Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Give this approach a try
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you need to achieve

The order of play
- Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
- Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.

Learn from a sample situation
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
