The Patches Game puzzle for October 26, 2026 is a 6 × 6 medium board split into 8 patches, from 2 to 15 cells; the largest is 3 × 5.
Its clues: 3 Wide, 3 Tall and 2 Freeform. 4 show a number (Freeform 4, Tall 3, Tall 6 and Freeform 15); the other 4 show only a shape (3 Wide and 1 Tall), so you work out those sizes from the grid.
Area budget: the numbered patches cover 28 of the 36 cells, which leaves 8 for the 4 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: the numbered Tall clue toward the left edge has only one possible rectangle, a 1 × 3 patch, so place it first.
