5x5 nonogram puzzles
Five by five is the easiest size. There are only 25 squares, so most puzzles fall to two or three simple deductions. A good first nonogram.
Tap or drag to fill. Cross out squares you know are empty. A clue fades when its row or column is right.
How to solve a 5x5 nonogram
- A row clue of 5 fills the whole row. A clue of 0 means the row is empty.
- A clue of 4 in a row of 5 always fills the middle three squares.
- Cross out squares as soon as you know they are empty. It keeps the picture clear.
