Patches #210 is a 6×6 grid with 8 clues. The 5-cell "tall" clue at row 1, column 6 has only one legal rectangle, so it is the obvious first cut. Every area is given today, so each clue's rectangle has a fixed cell count. The primes today are the 5 at row 1, column 1, the 5 at row 1, column 6, the 3 at row 4, column 3 and the 3 at row 5, column 4; each is a single strip.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 5-cell "tall" clue at row 1, column 6 fits exactly one way: it must be 1 across and 5 down, so draw it first.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
The 4 marked "square" at row 6, column 1 covers rows 5–6 and columns 1–2.
Hint 3: nearly there
Draw the 5 marked "any shape" at row 1, column 1 as a block 1 tall by 5 wide whose top-left corner is row 1, column 1. After those, every remaining clue has one shape that fits.
