The Patches Game puzzle for November 2, 2026 is a 6 × 6 medium board split into 8 patches, from 2 to 9 cells; the largest is 3 × 3.
Its clues: 1 Square, 1 Wide and 6 Freeform. 4 show a number (Freeform 9, Freeform 5, Freeform 8 and Freeform 4); the other 4 show only a shape (1 Square, 1 Wide and 2 Freeform), so you work out those sizes from the grid.
Area budget: the numbered patches cover 26 of the 36 cells, which leaves 10 for the 4 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: the numbered Freeform clue toward the center has only one possible rectangle, a 4 × 2 patch, so place it first.
