6 rectangles to cut out of a 6×6 grid in Patches #232. The 3 marked "any shape" at row 2, column 4 is a prime, so it can only be a strip 3 cells long, one way or the other. 2 clues accept any shape, so they will bend around whatever the others leave. The primes today are the 3 at row 2, column 4 and the 3 at row 6, column 4; each is a single strip.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Count the options for the 6 marked "wide" at row 1, column 3: 2. One of them blocks a neighbour, so it is out.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
The 6 marked "wide" at row 1, column 3 is the rectangle from row 1, column 1, 1 tall by 6 wide.
Hint 3: nearly there
The 6-cell "wide" clue at row 3, column 3 covers rows 2–3 and columns 1–3. The rest follows from what is left uncovered.
