How the LinkedIn Patches answer for Jun 2, 2026 is forced
Each step closes one rectangle. The order matters: every placement narrows what the next clue can be.
-
01
Golden anchor
Once the Gold 3x3 square was placed, the Teal patch to its left was boxed in. It couldn't expand to the right, forcing it into a vertical 1x3 strip.
-
02
Edge containment
With the Gold and Teal shapes defined, look to the perimeter. The Light Blue clue, pushed against the right edge by the Gold square, had only one valid spot for its 1x2 patch. Similarly, the Red clue on the far-left edge was now hemmed in by the Purple and Green patches, forcing it into the only available vertical space, a 1x5 strip.
-
03
Bottom cluster
The real test of practice came from the cluster of '2's at the bottom. With the upper shapes solved, the Dark Blue '2' had to be a 2x1 horizontal patch to avoid the row occupied by the Green clue. This placement then forced the Dark Teal '2' into a horizontal orientation. Finally, this left only one possible 2x1 space for the Gray '2', completing the puzzle.
What carries to tomorrow
Three takeaways from this LinkedIn Patches answer
-
01
Power of squares
). A 3x3 shape like the Gold 9 is restrictive and defines 8 boundary cells, giving you a huge amount of information to start with.
-
02
Perimeter pressure
Clues located on the edges of the grid have half the possible moves of a central clue. Use the grid's border as a natural wall to deduce shape orientation and size more quickly. The Red and Light Blue patches were prime examples.
-
03
Solve by "Boxing in"
By solving the shapes around it (Purple, Green, Teal, and the left wall), we "boxed it in," revealing its 1x5 dimensions by elimination.
