Shikaku: rules and examples
Bring your attention to one round of Shikaku. Cover the board with non-overlapping rectangles, each containing one clue equal to its area. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Solve ten 5×5 rectangle puzzles. Each clue belongs to exactly one rectangle of the stated area.

An example before you play
A clue 6 may occupy a 2×3 rectangle when other clues allow it. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
No rectangle may contain two clues or overlap another. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
