Full Rescan

Level: Advanced

Rescan every line involved each time you make a move.

In a nonogram, every time you confirm a cell the situation of the row and column it belongs to changes. The heart of advanced solving is the habit of rescanning the lines involved from the start whenever a confirmation appears.

A single new X or a single newly filled cell often makes overlap or block splitting possible on another line. Miss it and it looks like a deadlock, when in fact there is still a line left to look at again.

When you feel stuck, rescan the recently changed lines first. Most 'unsolvable' moments are resolved by a rescan.
