Shikaku is a Japanese logic puzzle, and Daily Shikaku serves it up in the browser. The grid holds a scattering of numbers, and you divide the whole thing into rectangles and squares around them.

There is one rule that makes it tick. Each shape has to contain exactly one number, and that number tells you how many cells the shape covers. It sits in our Numbers category, next to sudoku, and drawing the shapes works by mouse or by finger.

Rules of Shikaku

Draw rectangles and squares on the grid by mouse, or with a finger on a touch screen. Each shape must contain only one number, and it must cover exactly as many cells as that number says. A 6 could become a two by three rectangle or a one by six strip, for example. Keep going until every cell of the grid belongs to a shape.

Shikaku tips

Start with numbers that can only form one shape, like a large number in a tight corner.
A 1 is always a single cell, so mark those right away.
When a number has several possible shapes, look at its neighbors to rule some out.
