MindymQuilt
Quilt is a grid-division puzzle in the Shikaku family. Split the grid into rectangles so each one holds exactly one clue: the number is the patch’s size, and an outline gives its shape.
The rules
Split the grid into rectangles with one clue each. The number is its size; the outline is its shape.

Questions
Is there always exactly one solution?
Yes. Every Quilt is checked when it’s made, so it has exactly one solution and can always be solved by reasoning, without guessing.
When does a new Quilt come out?
Every day at midnight UTC, the same moment for everyone. That’s 8 pm Eastern in summer and 7 pm in winter.
Do the puzzles get harder?
They get trickier through the week, so a weekend puzzle takes a little longer than a Monday one.
Can I play past puzzles?
Only today’s Quilt can be played, so everyone’s times compare fairly. Past days have step-by-step solutions in the archive.
Is it free?
Yes. All the daily puzzles are free to play in your browser, with no sign-up needed.
