Patches

Play Patches Online

Patches is a satisfying spatial puzzle game where you must stretch colored patches to cover exactly the right number of squares. Each patch shows a number and a shape type — square, tall, wide, or any — and you must drag it to fit precisely. Fill every cell on the board without overlaps to complete each level!

How to Play Patches

Tap or click a colored patch to select it.

Drag to stretch the patch across adjacent cells.

Each patch must cover exactly the number of cells shown inside it.

Every cell on the board must be covered exactly once — no gaps, no overlaps.

The shape icon inside each patch tells you how it must be oriented:

Square — patch width must equal its height.

Tall — patch height must be greater than its width.

Wide — patch width must be greater than its height.

Any — any rectangle shape is allowed, just cover the right number of cells.

All patches must be correctly placed to win the level.

Why Patches Is Good for Your Brain

Patches enhances spatial reasoning, logical thinking, and visual planning. Players must calculate exact dimensions, respect shape constraints, and plan placements to fill the grid without gaps or overlaps. It is a great way to train your brain while enjoying a calm and visually satisfying puzzle experience.

Tips to Win at Patches

Start with patches that have strict shape constraints like square or tall.

Look for areas of the grid where only one patch can fit.

Count remaining empty cells to verify your placements.

Avoid blocking space needed for larger patches.

Plan the full layout before stretching — not just the next patch.

Redo placements early if they limit your options.

Use hints wisely when stuck — they highlight the next unsolved patch.

Practice makes perfect — shape patterns become easier over time.
