Shikaku
A daily Shikaku logic puzzle: draw rectangles so every number is a room's area.
About Shikaku
Shikaku gives you a floor plan with a few numbered cells. Each number is a room's area in squares. Draw rectangles until every cell is covered, with exactly one number in each room, matching that room's width times height. There is exactly one solution, the same puzzle for everyone each day.
How to play
The grid is a floor plan. Some cells already show a room's area in squares.
Draw a rectangle around exactly one number. The rectangle's width times height must equal that number.
Cover every cell with no overlaps and no gaps.
