The Patches Game puzzle for June 23, 2026 is a 6 × 6 medium board split into 6 patches, from 3 to 9 cells; the largest is 3 × 3.
Its clues: 2 Square, 2 Wide and 2 Tall. 3 show a number (Square 9, Wide 6 and Tall 6); the other 3 show only a shape (1 Square, 1 Wide and 1 Tall), so you work out those sizes from the grid.
Area budget: the numbered patches cover 21 of the 36 cells, which leaves 15 for the 3 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: the numbered Wide clue toward the bottom-left corner has only one possible rectangle, a 3 × 2 patch, so place it first.
