Panes

Every grid has one simple goal: divide it into panes that fit every clue. Each number tells you how many cells belong in its pane. Shape hints show whether the answer is wide, tall or square. Draw rectangles until every cell is covered — without overlaps and with one clue in each pane. Start with a guided puzzle, then move through increasingly satisfying challenges. Later levels introduce hidden information and blocked cells, rewarding careful logic without turning the board into clutter. FEATURES • Quick, clean logic puzzles • A fresh Daily Challenge • Play streaks and a streak freeze • Helpful hints when you need them • Light and dark appearance • No account required • Core play works offline Panes is easy to learn, calm to play and built for those “just one more grid” moments. Panes is free to play and supported by advertising.
