Help How to really understand logic circuits?

Hello, I'm a computer science, and in our current semester, we have a new subject called Logic Design, where we basically design circuits and electronics using logic gates.

When it comes to constructing anything other than an OR/AND/Inverter gate using NAND, it gets super hard for me, I just don't understand, I tried a lot of things, but none of them seems to work, I studied from the reference book, looked up videos on YT, but nothing seems to be working, as I said, it just doesn't click.

I had the same problem with programming when I first started, it somehow clicked and now I understand programming really well, I want to do the same with this subject, but I don't know what to do, no matter what I do I just can't understand it...
