Patches Box - Linked In Mind

Complete each shape and sharpen your mind with Patches Box: Linked In Mind, an elegant rectangular grid-logic puzzle inspired by classic deduction and spatial geometry.

Cover every empty square on the board by stretching rectangular patches from numbered clues. But each region comes with its own exact requirements—numbers dictate size, and shape indicator borders reveal whether your rectangle must be tall, wide, square, or any proportion!

HOW TO PLAY:
• Complete each shape to fill the grid: Every cell on the board must belong to exactly one rectangular patch.
• One Clue Per Shape: Each rectangle must contain exactly one numbered clue badge.
• Exact Area: The number inside the badge tells you the exact number of squares that patch must cover.
• No Overlaps: Rectangular patches cannot overlap or leave empty gaps on the board.
• Shape Indicator Silhouettes:
- Solid Border = Square (width equals height, e.g. 2x2, 3x3)
- Vertical Dashed Border = Tall rectangle (height strictly greater than width, e.g. 3x1, 5x2)
- Horizontal Dashed Border = Wide rectangle (width strictly greater than height, e.g. 2x5, 1x4)
- Plus / Cross Dashed Border = Any rectangular orientation (satisfies the area)
• Drag to Stretch: Touch any numbered clue and smoothly drag outward to expand the rectangle across the board. A live floating counter displays the patch size in real time!
• Tap to Clear: Tap any placed patch at any time to instantly remove it and redraw cleanly.

KEY FEATURES:
• Effortless Drag-to-Stretch Touch Controls: Fluid gestures designed specifically for mobile touchscreens. Watch your patches stretch smoothly with live size feedback.
• Clean, Mindful Aesthetics: Authentic soothing color palette (Red, Blue, Teal, Purple, Yellow, Orange, Green, Brown), clear dashed grid lines, and uncluttered visual design built for deep mental focus.
• Graduated Difficulty Levels:
- Easy (6x6 Grid): Direct deductions and gentle learning curve.
- Medium (7x7 Grid): Balanced strategic partitioning.
- Hard (8x8 Grid): Deep multi-step spatial deduction.
• Daily Challenge & Puzzle Numbers: Play the official daily challenge every single day (e.g. #196, #210) and compare your solve times.
• Deductive Logic Spotlight Hints: Never get hopelessly stuck! Our smart hint engine dims the board, highlights the exact cell that can be logically deduced, explains the deduction step-by-step, and offers a "Show me" action.
• Full Undo & Board Reset: Experiment freely without stress. Undo any move or reset the entire board with one tap.
• 100% Offline Play: Enjoy unlimited puzzles on planes, trains, or off the grid—no active internet connection required.
