When solving a Picross puzzle in a 10 x 10 grid (most normal level puzzles), here are some tips for quickly filling in spots on the grid:
If a column/row has a 10, you can automatically fill in the entire column/row.
If a column/row has a 9, you can automatically fill in the center 8 blocks of that column/row.
If a column/row has a 8, you can automatically fill in the center 6 blocks of that column/row.
If a column/row has a 7, you can automatically fill in the center 4 blocks of that column/row.
If a column/row has a 6, you can automatically fill in the center 2 blocks of that column/row.
Series of 1s
If a column/row in a Picross puzzle has only 1s (like a series of 1 1 1 1), you can automatically put an X on either side of a filled in spot of that column/row, essentially letting you fill out three squares of the grid with just one solid block.
