Rules and play
Daily Shikaku Game Rules
One number per rectangle. Area equals the clue. No overlaps, no leftover cells, no empty rectangles. Shape can be any rectangle that fits. Play on puzzle-shikaku-style dailies (often a 7×7 option). If a leftover cell cannot host a remaining clue, backtrack.
- Divide the Daily Shikaku grid into non-overlapping rectangles.
- Each rectangle contains exactly one number equal to its area.
- Every cell must belong to a rectangle.
- A shape that blocks another clue is illegal even if its own area is right.
