... but it's another one with the shell spiralling in the wrong direction.

Snail shells can be coiled either clockwise (dextral) or counterclockwise (sinistral) when viewed from above. It’s an identifying characteristic Most species are dextrally coiled. This fine specimen is dextrally coiled, assuming that we’re viewing it from above.

Sorry - bad link there! Go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastropod_shell and scroll down to “Chirality”

I wonder if in Australia the snail shells are mainly sinistral - like water going down the drain?
replyWhether it's clockwise or counterclockwise; it spirals upwards and then back from the snail's back, not backwards and then up, as in this nonogram.
replySnail shells can, like you said, be one way or the other. However, snail never crawl on their back. This one should go to the right.

I thought that the right side was very easy but it got much harder halfway through!
replyLove it! Super cute! Especially really great for a small picture

Something behind the scenes here! A few days before publishing this, Jelito put a nonogram called 'Abstract sail', which I've just completed. One of the comments said they were confused because they mis-read the title as 'Abstract SNAIL'! I'm sure this must be Jelito's response, in other words to produce one
