# For beginners nonograms

New to nonograms? Start small. These 5 by 5 grids have short clues, so the rules click quickly: a number is a run of filled cells, runs keep their order, and a blank sits between them. Each one is proved to solve by logic, so you can always reason your way to the picture.
