Shikaku
Divide the grid into rectangular boxes. Every box contains exactly one number, and that number is how many cells the box covers. Drag across the cells to draw a box.
6×6 grid with small boxes — a gentle start.
8×8 grid with boxes of up to 10 cells.
10×10 grid with boxes of up to 14 cells.

Shikaku, also known as Rectangles or Divide by Box, is a logic puzzle first published by Nikoli in 1989. Every puzzle on PuzzleWorld is randomly generated and checked by a solver, so there is always exactly one way to split the grid.
Start with numbers that fit in only one place: a 2 in a corner, or a large number squeezed between other clues. While you drag, the size of the box is shown and turns green when it matches a number.
