About Patches

Patches is a logic puzzle: split the grid into rectangles so each one holds exactly one clue and matches its size and shape. This site is built for playing it often and playing it fast.

  • Unlimited

    A new board whenever you want one, in four sizes and three difficulties. Every board is generated to have exactly one solution that can be reached by logic alone.

  • Daily

    Four boards a day: 5x5, 6x6, 8x8 and 10x10. They get harder from Monday to Sunday. Solve all four to keep your streak, then compare times on the daily leaderboard.

  • Puzzles

    Forty-eight fixed boards, twelve per size. Your best time on each is saved, and every board has its own leaderboard.

  • Friends

    Send a friend the board you just solved. They play the same board, and the faster time wins the round and counts toward your head-to-head record.
