About Nonogram & how to play

Read the number clues, fill the right squares, and watch a hidden picture appear.

The numbers beside each row and column tell you the runs of filled squares hidden in that line — a clue of '4 2' means four filled, a gap, then two. Cross-reference the rows against the columns and you can deduce exactly which squares to fill, and a little picture reveals itself as you go. Pure logic with a payoff at the end.

Dodge hosts it, no clock — take your time. Mark the squares you've ruled out, and pick any pen color to make the finished picture your own.

How to play Nonogram

1. Read the numbers beside each row and column — they list the runs of filled squares, in order.
2. Fill the squares you can prove, and use Mark (✕) to note the ones you've ruled out.
3. Cross-reference rows against columns to pin down each square with certainty.
4. Drag to paint across several squares at once, in whatever pen color you like.
5. Fill exactly the right squares to complete the picture — no clock, so go at your pace.

Tips & strategy

• Start with the biggest clues. A long run forces some squares to be filled no matter how it slides.
• Mark blanks with ✕ as you rule them out — knowing where a run can't go is as useful as where it can.
• Work rows and columns together: filling one square often settles a square in the crossing line.
• Look for full lines. A "10" clue on a 10-wide grid fills the whole row outright.
• Never guess. Every square can be reasoned out, so if you're unsure, find the line with a definite move.
