About Shard Square

Shard Square is a shape fitting puzzle. Every board shows a pale silhouette and a row of crystal shards, and each shard has to drop onto the silhouette so that no cell is left empty and no cell is covered twice. Shards arrive turned a quarter from the way the board was drawn, so a four wide bar is handed over standing on end and has to be turned before it can lie along a row.

Five boards follow one another, from a plain four by four square up to a six by six bench with a notch cut out of one corner, and each board is built from a genuine partition of its own silhouette, so every one can be filled completely.
