best I can think of. 166 char.

<p><p><p><p> <style> body { display: grid; grid-template: "p p"; background: #62374e} p { margin: 42px 158px 58px 42px; width: 50px; height: 50px; background: #fdc57b
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or 147 char if space removed

<p><p><p><p><style>body{display:grid;grid-template:"p p";background:#62374e}p{margin:42px 158px 58px 42px;width:50px;height:50px;background:#fdc57b

Just a few less characters (143) and other approach, but I can't think of anything more to remove, but the best results are half that number. :O

<p><p b><p a><p a b><style>*{background:#62374e;padding:21}p{background:#fdc57b;width:8;height:8;position:fixed;top:34}[a]{top:184}[b]{right:50

Tried Grid and got 100% correct answer.

Great post!

Love the CSS battle site as well!

I've been working lightly in html/css the last few years and this is the first time I've looked up the CSS Grid feature to get this puzzle done.

PS you have to remember to scrape all the white space and carriage returns before submitting your answer, because every extra character gets you a lower score.

Tried attaching the image to this post but it's not working, here's the link:
thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i...

Here's the code itself:
All the code is in the style tags. You leave the four div's alone.

body {
margin:50;
display:grid;
grid-template-columns:auto auto;
grid-column-gap:200px;
grid-row-gap:100px;background:#62374e;
}

div {
width:50px;
height:50px;
background:#fdc57b;
}

This is my no block solution xD (using clip-path)

<style>html{background:#62374e}body{background:#fdc57b;margin:50;clip-path:polygon(0 0,0 25%,50px 25%,50px 0,100% 0,100% 25%,100% 100%,50px 100%,50px 75%,0% 75%,0 100%,250px 100%,250px 75%,100% 75%,100% 25%,250px 25%,250px 0)}

went to 200 char without closing tags, spaces etc XD
it looks weird but it is what it is (got 100%)
gonna try something more short

.X{float:left;width:50;height:50;background:#fdc57b}

.a,.c{margin:50 100 50 50}

.b,.d{margin:50 50 50 100}

*{margin:0;background:#62374e
