8×8 grid- 0/18Every number needs one rectangle of exactly that many cells, and rectangles can't overlap or contain two numbers. Tap Start to follow all 18 logical steps, no guessing.
- 1/18Draw a 6 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 12 at R2C7 . Of the 16 rectangles of area 12 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 15 contain another number.
- 2/18Draw a 2 wide × 5 tall rectangle for the 10 at R6C8 . Of the 5 rectangles of area 10 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 3 contain another number, 1 overlaps a finished rectangle.
- 3/18Draw a 8 wide × 1 tall rectangle for the 8 at R1C6 . Of the 7 rectangles of area 8 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 6 overlap a finished rectangle.
- 4/18Draw a 1 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 2 at R2C8 . Of the 3 rectangles of area 2 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 1 contains another number, 1 overlaps a finished rectangle.
- 5/18Draw a 6 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 12 at R4C5 . Of the 36 rectangles of area 12 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 5 contain another number, 30 overlap a finished rectangle.
- 6/18Draw a 1 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 2 at R3C1 . Of the 3 rectangles of area 2 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 2 overlap a finished rectangle.
- 7/18No other number has a rectangle that can cover R6C4, so it must belong to the 4 at R6C4 . That narrows it to 2 possible shapes.
- 8/18No other number has a rectangle that can cover R6C6, so it must belong to the 2 at R6C6 . That narrows it to 2 possible shapes.
- 9/18No other number has a rectangle that can cover R7C1, R7C2, R8C1, R8C2, so they all must belong to the 6 at R8C2 . That narrows it to 2 possible shapes.
- 10/18No other number has a rectangle that can cover R6C3, so it must belong to the 4 at R6C4 . That narrows it to 2 possible shapes.
- 11/18No other number has a rectangle that can cover R7C4, so it must belong to the 2 at R7C4 . That narrows it to 3 possible shapes.
- 12/18No other number has a rectangle that can cover R8C5, R8C6, so they all must belong to the 4 at R8C6 . That narrows it to 2 possible shapes.
- 13/18The 4 at R6C4 has 2 possible rectangles left, and all of them cover R6C2. So those cells belong to it whichever shape it ends up as.
- 14/18Draw a 3 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 6 at R8C2 . Of the 7 rectangles of area 6 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 4 overlap cells claimed by another number, 1 contains another number, 1 overlaps a finished rectangle.
- 15/18Draw a 2 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 4 at R8C6 . Of the 6 rectangles of area 4 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 5 overlap a finished rectangle.
- 16/18Draw a 2 wide × 1 tall rectangle for the 2 at R6C6 . Of the 4 rectangles of area 2 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 3 overlap a finished rectangle.
- 17/18Draw a 1 wide × 2 tall rectangle for the 2 at R7C4 . Of the 4 rectangles of area 2 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 2 overlap a finished rectangle, 1 contains another number.
- 18/18Draw a 4 wide × 1 tall rectangle for the 4 at R6C4 . Of the 11 rectangles of area 4 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 10 overlap a finished rectangle. ✅ Solved!

How to Solve Everyday Grids Gems: Quick Tips
- Begin with numbers that fit only one rectangle shape, often big numbers in tight spaces.
- Look for empty cells that only one number can reach; they must belong to that number.
- Cells shared by every possible shape of a number always belong to it, even before you know the exact shape.
- A 1 is already complete, and a 2 can only go in a straight pair.
