I knew all these for. Experience but I only used the last one rarely I didn't even realise it
Okay so apparently i figured out every technique myself by obsessively playing everyday
That last technique I never found on my own, maybe I can use it on some puzzles I've been stuck on for a long time
to add on to your first statement, when starting a 10x10 puzzle for example you can start by looking for a single 10, obviously, then you can look for 2 numbers that add to 9, then 3 numbers that add to 8, and so on. These work because if you have three numbers in a clue box, that means there are 2 gaps between the shaded cells. If the numbers in the clue also add to 8, that is literally 10 with 2 gaps. So if you have 3, 4, 1 in a clue box you know it is 3 (gap) 4 (gap) 1 which adds to 8 shaded cells with 2 gaps. Let me know if i am making it confusing and i will explain. its a really neat trick, and i call these clues “golden nons” also i wonder if you will read this comment two years later
awesome video, I knew all the techniques by just playing but great for beginners. wish there was something like this for color nonograms tho
I read the comments and I’m still super confused by the last technique!
That last rule, "never make a guess, only complete the blocks that you are sure of". A lot of people ignore that and that's why they fail a lot and get frustrated on bigger puzzles. On small puzzle it's not a big deal since any errors will be easy to spot, but on a big puzzle, the tinyest error can go unseen for a while, and then when you're almost finished, you have a very hard time fuguring out where the error is and restarting the whole thing is often easier.
I have never been more confused in my life
Another technique is : if you have 1 1 1 2 3 etc. as hints, and the 5th or 6th square is black, you can assume that it os a 1, and put X before and after the cell, because it is one of the three inicial 1's.
1:47 has to be wrong though. When you have a 6 you can directly mark both center squares (on 10x10 puzzles). Notice that those two 6s contradict your five. The solution is (1 2 3 4 5 x x 8 9 x)
I love how I solved over 100 tough nonogram puzzles and I just started watching tutorials yet all of those techniques I am aware of except for one. The reason I needed this video coz I am stuck at a very hard level and those techniques ain't helpful at all. P.S.: ik no one cares
i think i’m just too dumb for these puzzles. none of this makes sense to me but yet i’m great at sudoku
At 2:13 how do you know that it’s the first colum and not the second
The problem I have is when there are multiple groups in a single row/column and those numbers are very small. For example: in a 15x15, a single row has 1 2 2 2, etc etc. Basically there is no guaranteed moves and you must result to a trial and error, which is we all know is unreliable and may cause to destroy your whole puzzle and end up repeating everything. :(
Bordering is tough I'm doing 30x30's so it can be really hard to figure those out.
Knew all of these from purely practice I thought I was the only one who figures these out 😅
Very good, I knew all these techniques. I am coding an algorithm, Most of them I already coded.
I am still trying to solve a 30 by 30 puzzle
What's he mean by joining? The visual doesn't match what's stated so I guess ignore the visual nvm
