How to play Nonogram
The numbers beside each row and above each column list the lengths of the runs of filled squares in that line, in order. "3 1" means a run of three filled squares, then at least one gap, then a single filled square. Fill exactly the right squares to reveal a hidden picture — it appears in full colour when you finish!
Controls
- Tap or click a square to fill it; tap again to clear. Drag to paint a whole run at once.
- Switch to ✕ Cross mode (or right-click / long drag with the right button) to mark squares you know are empty.
- Keyboard: arrows move, Space or F fills, X crosses, Delete clears.
- Clues fade out when their line matches. Undo/Redo, Hint, Check and Pause sit under the grid.
