Easy Patches Game Unlimited is where most players start. On an Easy board almost every clue shows you both things at once — the shape family (square, wide, or tall) and the exact cell count. That makes each clue close to a direct instruction: find the one rectangle of that shape and size that fits around the clue without colliding with its neighbors. There's no daily cap, so you can play Easy boards back to back at 6 × 6, 8 × 8, or 10 × 10.
What makes Easy boards easy
Because shape and size are both visible, Easy boards reward pattern-spotting over deep logic. You can usually place two or three patches straight from the corners, then let the leftover space show you where the rest belong. There's still exactly one solution — a built-in solver verifies every board before it loads — but you'll rarely need more than a single chain of deductions to reach it.
Tips for Easy Patches
Start in a corner or along an edge, where a rectangle has the fewest ways to sit. Place every clue you're sure of first, then look at the cells nobody has claimed yet — an empty strip one cell wide almost always belongs to the patch beside it.
