Nonogram: goal and players
Play Nonogram online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- A picture is hidden in the grid. The numbers by each row and column tell you the runs of filled squares in that line, in order, with at least one empty square between runs. “3 1” means three filled in a row, a gap, then one.
- Everyone gets the same picture at the same moment and plays at once. The first to fill every square of the picture wins.
- Press and slide along a row or column to fill squares, then lift your finger. Slide off the grid to cancel. Switch to Cross to mark squares you know are empty.
- Every square is checked as you mark it. Filling an empty square or crossing out a filled one costs a heart, and the square shows what it really is. Lose all 3 hearts and you are out of the race (you can keep watching).
- When you have found every filled square of a line, the rest of it is crossed out for you. Numbers you have completed fade.
- You see how far the others are and how many hearts they have, never their squares.
- When the clock runs out (4, 12 or 25 minutes), players still in are ranked by progress, then those who ran out of hearts.
- Every puzzle can be solved one line at a time, with no guessing.

- Numbers draw a picture – The numbers by each line give the runs of filled squares, in order, with a gap between runs. “1 1” means one, a gap, then one.
- Slide to fill – Press and slide along a line to fill squares. A 5 in a row of 5 fills the whole row.

History & origins
Picture-logic puzzles were developed independently in Japan by Non Ishida and Tetsuya Nishio in 1987.
They encode a picture using number clues along rows and columns, combining logical deduction with a gradual image reveal.
The format later spread under names such as Nonogram and Picross. Jawna’s shared-puzzle race adapts that established format rather than claiming a new historical origin.
