Rectangle regions
Divide the grid into rectangles. Each number tells you how many cells its rectangle must contain.
Example
Example

The 3 needs a rectangle covering three cells. A 1 × 3 strip fits the clue.
Step 1 of 3
4 × 4 grids. Start with factor pairs and the grid edges.
Use the numbers and grid edges to make five regions.

How this data is usedHelp
- Cover every cell with a rectangle. Rectangles cannot overlap or extend beyond the grid.
- Each rectangle must contain exactly one numbered clue.
- The number gives the area in cells. A 6 can be 1 × 6, 2 × 3, 3 × 2 or 6 × 1 if it fits.
- Drag between opposite corners, or tap both corners. Select a filled region to redraw or remove it. A redraw keeps the original until its replacement fits.
A rectangle can fit its own clue and still block another region. Check both its area and the space it leaves behind.
