Nonogram: learn through an example

Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you are aiming for
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.
A mistake to avoid
Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
