The Patches Game puzzle for November 9, 2026 is a 6 × 6 medium board split into 6 patches, from 4 to 10 cells; the largest is 2 × 5.
Its clues: 2 Square, 1 Tall and 3 Freeform. 4 show a number (Freeform 8, Tall 6, Freeform 10 and Freeform 4); the other 2 show only a shape (2 Square), 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 2 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: the numbered Freeform clue toward the top-left corner has only one possible rectangle, a 2 × 4 patch, so place it first.
