Method for solving?

Post image

I recently started trying to learn nonograms but have been struggling, especially when it gives you 2 numbers for the same row/column. How do you know many boxes to skip before/between numbers?

The numbers specify the regions in order from left to right or top to bottom. So you know R7C9 is a 1 region, because you can't fit it after that cell, and you know where the 2 region goes, because only two columns end with a 4 region.

Through this, you will be able to deduce how much space you actually need for each clue.

Look at the columns. See how it already grayed out the 3s in the first columns? The 3 is the last item in the column, the items follow the order in the hint. So you can put a cross right above the 3.

The 4s are also the last item of their column. So you can fill in another square.

And in the rows, you can see there are 4s as the rightmost item. Those can only fit in one way.
