Linkedin Patches

What is Linkedin Patches?

Patches is a daily spatial logic puzzle from LinkedIn where the board is a grid of unfinished regions, numbers, and shape clues. Your mission is to “stitch” the grid together by drawing the correct patches until every cell belongs to exactly one shape.

The twist is that the clues do not simply tell you where to click. They tell you what kind of shape must be completed: how large it is, whether it is square, tall, wide, or flexible. Patches feels calm at first, then turns into a satisfying little geometry trap where one wrong shape can block the entire board.

Strategy & Tips

• Start with the most restricted clues. Corners, edges, and large numbers often have fewer possible placements, so they can anchor the solution.
• Think in rectangles. Before dragging, imagine every possible shape that could satisfy a clue, then eliminate the ones that would block neighboring clues.
• Do not trust a shape just because it is allowed. A patch can be legal locally and disastrous globally.
• When stuck, look for leftover spaces. If an empty area cannot match any nearby clue, one of your earlier patches is probably too greedy.
