Patches #232 Solution
Patches: 6 (1×6) from R1C1 to R1C6; 6 (2×3) from R2C1 to R3C3; 3 (1×3) from R2C4 to R2C6; 9 (3×3) from R3C4 to R5C6; 9 (3×3) from R4C1 to R6C3; 3 (1×3) from R6C4 to R6C6.
How to Solve Patches #232
Patches 232 divides the 6×6 board into six rectangles. Count rows from the top and columns from the left.
- Clue at R1C3: rows 1–1, columns 1–6; 6 cells.
- Clue at R2C4: rows 2–2, columns 4–6; 3 cells.
- Clue at R3C3: rows 2–3, columns 1–3; 6 cells.
- Clue at R4C4: rows 3–5, columns 4–6; 9 cells.
- Clue at R5C3: rows 4–6, columns 1–3; 9 cells.
- Clue at R6C4: rows 6–6, columns 4–6; 3 cells.
The red six-cell clue takes the entire top row. The next row splits between the upper half of the green patch on the left and the three-cell orange strip on the right. The green patch continues down into row 3.
The yellow square occupies a 3×3 block on the right, while the purple patch fills a 3×3 block in the lower-left. A blue three-cell strip closes the bottom-right corner. Each rectangle contains exactly one clue, every numbered area matches, and all 36 cells are covered without gaps or overlap.
