9×9 grid- 0/21Every number needs one rectangle of exactly that many cells, and rectangles can't overlap or contain two numbers. Tap Start to follow all 21 logical steps, no guessing.
- 1/21Draw a 1 wide × 3 tall rectangle for the 3 at R3C9 . Of the 4 rectangles of area 3 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 3 contain another number.
- 2/21Draw a 1 wide × 6 tall rectangle for the 6 at R4C9 . Of the 10 rectangles of area 6 that could hold it, only this one still works, of the others, 6 contain another number, 3 overlap a finished rectangle.

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.
