The Patches Game puzzle for September 10, 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 and 4 Wide. 3 show a number (Wide 3, Wide 6 and Square 4); the other 3 show only a shape (1 Square and 2 Wide), so you work out those sizes from the grid.
Area budget: the numbered patches cover 13 of the 36 cells, which leaves 23 for the 3 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: no clue is forced at the start, so first look for cells only one clue can reach; after that, the numbered Wide clue toward the top-left corner is the first forced placement, a 3 × 1 patch.
