How to play today's Nonogram

Each number is the length of a run of filled cells in that row or column, in order. A clue of 3 1 means a block of three filled cells, at least one gap, then a single filled cell. Use logic to work out which cells must be filled and which must stay empty.

Fill a cell with a tap or click. Drag across a row or column to fill several at once.
Cross cells you know are empty with a right-click, or switch to Cross mode on a phone. Crosses are your notes; they do not count toward the answer.
A clue turns green and gets struck through when its row or column matches.
The puzzle is solved the moment every clue matches. Your time and streak are saved automatically.

Stuck on your first grid? Start with the biggest clues. In a 10-wide row, a block of 7 must cover the middle four cells wherever it sits. Our step-by-step guide shows this and four more techniques.
