Question 1

What is Patches Unlimited?

Accepted Answer

Patches Unlimited is an endless version of the Patches rectangle logic puzzle. Generate a fresh board any time you want, pick your grid size and difficulty, and solve at your own pace. No daily cap, no login.

Question 2

How is this different from LinkedIn Patches?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn Patches is one board per day. Patches Unlimited uses the same rules — square, wide, and tall rectangle clues plus freeform — but the generator lets you play as many boards as you want, at the size and difficulty you choose.

Question 3

Can I play Patches on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The board is built for touch and pointer input, so you can drag patches comfortably on phones, tablets, and desktop browsers. No install or app required.

Question 4

Are the puzzles handcrafted or generated?

Accepted Answer

Both. Patches Unlimited ships 40 curated boards hand-picked for interesting solves, and an endless generator that produces fresh random boards from a seed. Every board — curated or generated — has a unique URL you can share.

Question 5

How do I share a specific puzzle?

Accepted Answer

Every puzzle lives at its own URL like /p/ABC123. Copy the URL and send it — anyone opening it sees the same board.

Question 6

Is Patches Unlimited free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. No account, no ads in the play flow, no download. The engine runs entirely in your browser.
