HOW TO PLAY

One rule. Endless puzzles.

Split the board into rectangles whose size matches their number. Pure logic, and that small joy when the last piece clicks into place.

  1. 1

    Match the number

    A “4” covers 4 cells. One number per rectangle.

  2. 2

    Rectangles or squares only

    No L-shapes, no odd outlines.

  3. 3

    Fill every cell

    No gaps, no overlaps, and the puzzle is solved.
