Rule 01

Cut the grid into rectangles.

Pick one corner, then the opposite one, and the rectangle between them is drawn. Pick a square inside a rectangle to take it back. Every square belongs to exactly one rectangle when you are done.

Rule 02The number is the size.

A rectangle holding a 6 must cover six squares — as one across and six down, two by three, three by two, or six across. The number never tells you the shape, only how much of the grid it takes.

Rule 03One number to a rectangle.

A rectangle with no number in it is wrong, and so is one with two. Both turn red until you redraw them, which is usually the quickest way to find where a cut went astray.
