Patches

Game Rules: Cover every cell with rectangles, with no gaps or overlaps and exactly one circled clue in each. A number gives the area. The icons mean square (equal sides), wide (width greater than height), or tall (height greater than width). No number means unknown area; no icon means any rectangular proportion. A ? leaves both unknown, but still requires a rectangle. Colours only distinguish patches. Drag between opposite corner cells to draw; tap a patch to erase it. Undo and Redo also correct moves.
