Each clue lists the lengths of filled runs in order. A clue of 3 1 means three filled cells, at least one empty cell, then one filled cell. Start with lines whose runs nearly fill the available space, mark their guaranteed overlaps, and use completed rows and columns to cross out every remaining cell.

How to play
Read each clueEach number is the length of one continuous block of filled squares in that line.
Leave a gapSeparate consecutive clue blocks with at least one empty square.
Cross-check linesUse confirmed squares from rows to unlock columns, and vice versa.

Picture-cross clues, marking, and deduction
How to solve a Nonogram without guessing
Use the number clues beside every row and column to mark runs of filled cells. Separate consecutive runs with at least one empty cell, cross out cells that cannot belong to a run, and combine row and column deductions until the hidden picture is complete.
Core rules used here
Read in order
Clue groups appear from left to right in rows and from top to bottom in columns.
Separate runs
Two consecutive clue groups must have at least one empty cell between them.
Mark both states
Fill confirmed picture cells and cross out confirmed empty cells so later deductions stay visible.
Common reasons a solution breaks
- Runs touch each otherSeparate clue groups cannot merge; leave at least one crossed cell between them.
- A clue is placed too earlyIf several positions still fit, mark only the cells shared by every possible placement.
- Only rows are checkedEvery mark must satisfy both its row and its column, so alternate between the two directions.
Useful strategy
- Use overlapPlace a long run at both extremes of its remaining space; cells covered in both placements are guaranteed.
- Close completed linesOnce all clue groups are placed, cross every other cell in that row or column.
- Work from new boundariesA cross or filled edge shortens the available line and often creates the next forced overlap.
Nonogram questions players ask
What does a clue such as 3 1 mean?
It means a run of three filled cells followed later by a separate run of one filled cell, with at least one empty cell between them.
Should I guess when no move is obvious?
Not on MirthTable's generated boards. Recheck completed lines, overlaps, and the opposite direction before using a hint.
What does a cross mean?
A cross records that the cell is definitely empty and cannot be part of the hidden picture.
Which difficulty should a beginner choose?
Beginner uses a 5×5 grid. Standard uses 10×10, while Hard uses 15×15 and requires more combined deductions.
