LinkedIn Patches #131 Answer & Analysis

The top-left corner is immediately constrained, so the small 2-patch belongs there. Beneath that, the left side only has one clean way to hold a long 6-cell region, and the adjacent border column also becomes fixed once that corner is claimed.

Once the left edge is fixed, the top row has a very limited horizontal run for the long 4-patch. The upper-right corner also has only one natural 2x2 shape for its 4-cell region, and the upper-center 4 fits just below the top band.

The orange 6 belongs in the remaining upper-middle rectangle because that area is the only connected space large enough to support it cleanly. The red 2 on the right is then forced into the short horizontal slot beside it, and the small tan 2 below the green patch fits the last narrow opening in that zone.

The middle of the board acts like a separator, so the large gray-blue 6 takes the center-left block and the slim pink 2 sits immediately beside it. On the right, the tall magenta 6 fills the only connected 3x2 zone left in the middle-right area.

The remaining bottom spaces are all compact and rectangular, so the last 4-cell and 2-cell patches fall into place naturally. The bottom-left 4, bottom-center 4, green 2, and bottom-right 4 complete the board without leaving isolated cells.
