Featured Puzzle: Shikaku #1

ByJacob Valdez

Shikaku is a popular area division game, often used to teach about the area of rectangles. Divide the grid into a series of rectangles. Each rectangle must contain one and only one number. That number must match the area of the rectangle. For example, a 12 might be inside one of six possible rectangles:

  • 1 x 12 or 12 x 1
  • 2 x 6 or 6 x 2
  • 3 x 4 or 4 x 3
