How to play and improve
Read the instructions, tips, FAQ, and safety notes before placing ads near active gameplay.
Nonogram Mini is a small picture-logic puzzle: use crossing clues together, mark only cells that fit both directions, and avoid random filling.
How to play
- Press Start to reset the 5×5 board.
- Read the row clues and column clues shown above the grid.
- Tap a cell to mark it filled; tap again to clear it.
- Complete the hidden pattern exactly to finish the run.
Scoring rules
- Score rewards completion, faster solving, fewer total toggles, and fewer wrong toggles.
- The leaderboard score is submitted only after the board matches the clue solution.
- Cross-checking rows and columns usually beats guessing from one clue line.
Tips to improve
- Solve clue lines with large numbers first.
- Use crossing clues to confirm uncertain middle cells.
- Clear mistakes quickly instead of building the rest of the pattern around them.

FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. You can play without an account. Leaderboard submission uses a nickname only after a completed run.
Is this game safe for quick breaks?
Yes. It runs in the browser, has no download requirement, and keeps gameplay separated from ad areas.
How should I compare scores?
Compare several completed runs on the same device instead of treating one lucky result as your true baseline.
Use row and column clues together so every filled square has a reason. Your valid leaderboard result is based on score (pts).
How to approach each run
- Pause for a second before risky moves so you can see what the board will look like after the action.
- Track the constraint that matters most: empty space, safe cells, remaining moves, or tile position.
- Replay one board type several times instead of jumping around; pattern recognition improves faster that way.
