How to play Nonogram

Each row and column has number clues. They describe runs of filled squares in order, with at least one gap between runs.

Choose Fill or Cross, then tap a cell. Fill darkens it; Cross marks it as empty.

Use 5×5 for a two-minute warm-up, 10×10 for a coffee break, and 15×15 for a longer sit.

The picture is complete when every row and column matches its clues.

Tips for a better run

  • Start with rows or columns whose clues add up to the grid size.
  • Count the overlap in a long run; the middle cells are forced.
  • Cross out numbers as you satisfy them; long-press cycles a cross on touch.
  • Use Fill and Cross as separate modes to avoid accidental marks.

Good for

A quiet logic break; 5×5 is two minutes and 10×10 is a coffee break.
