How Patches works
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Goal | Partition the grid into rectangular and square patches so each patch contains exactly one clue, with no gaps or overlaps. |
| Size numbers | A clue's number tells you how many cells its patch covers; some clues have no number, so the size is part of the puzzle. |
| Shape badges | A badge shows the constraint — wide, tall, square, or cross (any shape). |
| Reset | A new Patches puzzle drops every day at midnight Pacific Time (3:00 a.m. Eastern). |
Tips for solving Patches
- Start with prime-number clues (2, 3, 5, 7) — they can only form a single-row or single-column strip, so they have very few placements.
- Work edges and corners first; a patch against the boundary has fewer directions to grow, limiting its shape.
- Use the shape badges to eliminate orientations early — a “tall” badge rules out any wide rectangle before you count cells.
- Stuck on one clue? Reveal just that patch; its boundaries usually clarify the patches around it.
What is LinkedIn Patches?
Patches is one of LinkedIn's newer logic games, inspired by the Japanese puzzle Shikaku. You split the grid into rectangles — one clue per patch — with LinkedIn's twists of un-numbered clues and shape badges (wide, tall, square or any). Difficulty ramps through the week, with Monday the easiest.
