How to play Patches

1. Split the whole grid into rectangles. No overlaps, no gaps.
2. Every rectangle must contain exactly one clue cell.
3. A clue's number is the rectangle's area (number of cells). A ? means the area is hidden — you work it out.
4. The clue's badge gives the shape: ■ square, ▬ wide (wider than tall), ▮ tall (taller than wide), ✚ any shape.
5. Drag from one corner to the opposite corner to draw a rectangle. Tap a rectangle to remove it.
