How to play Patches
Build a shape around each clue. A number gives its area, while a shape symbol constrains its form. Cover the board without gaps or overlapping shapes, with one clue in each shape.
Check a clue’s area and shape restriction before extending its patch into nearby squares. Each completed shape must leave room for the rest of the board. Our Patches answer pairs a solved grid with written shape positions, so you can check a particular area without relying on the image alone.
