Patches is the lineup's spatial thinker, inspired by the classic Shikaku. Carve the grid into rectangular patches so each holds one clue and matches its size. No arithmetic, just shapes clicking into place.
It rewards looking before drawing: spot the clue that only fits one way and the board unzips from there. A new grid lands daily on the Patches site.
