Master the rules of Patches

The Goal

Divide the entire grid into rectangles so every cell is covered exactly once — no gaps, no overlaps — and every rectangle contains exactly one numbered clue matching its area.

Shape Badges

Square

Width and height must be equal. A clue showing 4 as a Square can only be a 2×2 rectangle.

Wide

Width must be greater than height. A clue showing 6 as Wide can be 6×1 or 3×2, but never taller than it is wide.

Tall

Height must be greater than width — the mirror image of Wide.

Any

No proportion constraint — the rectangle can be any shape as long as the area matches the clue's number.

Controls

Press and drag across the grid to draw a rectangle — it must contain exactly one clue. Release to place it: a matching size and shape locks it in with its own color. Tap or click an existing rectangle to remove it. Use Undo to step back, or Hint if you get stuck.
