Parcels, the daily Shikaku puzzle. Today

How to play Parcels

1. Split the whole grid into rectangles.
2. Each rectangle holds exactly one number.
3. That number is the rectangle's size: how many tiles it covers.

Drag from one corner to the other to draw a parcel; the size shows in the middle as you go. Tap a parcel to take it off. On a keyboard, press Enter on one corner, move with the arrow keys and press Enter again. Every puzzle has one answer, and you can reach it by logic alone, no guessing.
