Rectopia solver

Type in a board, clue by clue, and find out whether it has exactly one answer, more than one, or none at all. Handy for a board you’ve drawn on paper, or one you can’t crack. Spoiler warning: it shows the answer.

Your board

Tap a cell, then pick its shape and size. Leave the size empty for a ? clue. On a keyboard: arrows to move, numbers for the size, S W T A for the shape, Backspace to clear.

How it works

It’s the same solver that checks every Rectopia board before it goes out. For each clue it lists every rectangle that could be its patch, then tries combinations until the whole grid is covered. It stops once it finds two answers, because two is enough to know a board isn’t a proper puzzle.
