Shikaku Blocks

How to Play

The game is played on a rectangular grid containing various numbers. Your goal is to divide the entire grid into blocks (rectangles and squares) following three simple rules:

1. One Number Per Block: Each rectangle must contain exactly one number.

2. Size Matches Number: The number inside a block represents the total area (number of cells) that block must cover. For example, a "4" could be a $1 \times 4$, $4 \times 1$, or $2 \times 2$ block.

3. Full Grid Coverage: Every single cell on the grid must eventually belong to a block, and blocks cannot overlap.
