The Patches Game puzzle for November 4, 2026 is a 7 × 7 medium board split into 10 patches, from 2 to 10 cells; the largest is 2 × 5.
Its clues: 2 Wide, 4 Tall and 4 Freeform. 7 show a number (Wide 6, Wide 4, Freeform 8, Freeform 2, Freeform 3, Freeform 6 and Tall 2); the other 3 show only a shape (3 Tall), so you work out those sizes from the grid.
Area budget: the numbered patches cover 31 of the 49 cells, which leaves 18 for the 3 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: the numbered Tall clue toward the bottom-left corner has only one possible rectangle, a 1 × 2 patch, so place it first.
