Today's board is 6 by 6 with 2 "any shape" clues and every area shown. Nothing is forced outright, so begin with a numbered clue against an edge or a corner. 4 of the 6 clues sit on the outer edge, which caps how far their rectangles can reach.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 6 marked "wide" at row 1, column 1 has only 2 possible rectangles; list them and see which one leaves the neighbours room.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
The 6-cell "wide" clue at row 1, column 1 covers row 1 and columns 1–6.
Hint 3: nearly there
Draw the 6-cell "wide" clue at row 6, column 6 as a block 1 tall by 6 wide whose top-left corner is row 6, column 1. After those, every remaining clue has one shape that fits.
