How to Play Stitches
Draw one "stitch" (a line crossing a border) between each pair of adjacent regions. Numbers on regions tell you how many stitches that region has.
Try it now — Easy 7x7 →The Rules
- Draw one stitch (a line crossing a region border) between each pair of adjacent regions
- Numbers on regions show the total stitch count for that region
- Each stitch crosses exactly one border and touches two cells, one in each region
- Each border between two adjacent regions can have at most one stitch
Available in 3 sizes (5x5, 7x7, 10x10) and 3 difficulty levels (easy, normal, hard).
See It in Action
Draw one stitch crossing each region border — region numbers show how many stitches that region has
How to Play
- Regions with only one border with a specific neighbour must stitch there if both regions need the connection
- Count available borders per region — if the count equals the number clue, every border gets stitched
- Each stitch counts for both regions it connects — track both counts simultaneously
- Eliminate borders where one region is already at its stitch limit
Pro Tips
A region with count "1" has exactly one stitch — find which of its borders must carry it
Stitches are symmetric: A-B counts as +1 for both A and B. Use this to quickly reduce both regions' remaining counts
Start with regions that share only one border with any specific neighbour — those borders are often forced
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Stitches?
Stitches is a logic puzzle where the grid is divided into regions. You draw stitches (connections crossing borders) so that each pair of neighboring regions has exactly one stitch between them. Numbers on regions tell you the total stitch count for that region.
