Daily Puzzles

Six fresh brain games every day — play them online, or print a large-print sheet for a cuppa-and-pencil session.

The Casebook

Five clues, eighty words, one answer. Cross off the words each clue rules out until a single one is left.

Tricky · 6 min

Word Search

Ten themed words in the grid — Sussex seaside days, sixties sounds, sweet-shop memories and more.

Gentle · 5 min

Word Ladder

Climb from one word to another, changing a single letter each step. Gentler some days, tougher others.

Varies daily

Trail

Draw one path through the numbers in order, filling every square.

Gentle · 3 min

Crowns

One crown in every row, column and colour — and none may touch.

Tricky · 8 min

Sudoku

The classic. Every row, column and box needs the numbers 1 to 9.

Classic · 15 min

Tango

Balance the suns and moons — three of each per row, never three in a row.

Logic · 8 min

Wend

Four words wind through the grid, bending as they go — use every letter once.

Wordy · 6 min

Trivia Match

Pair the columns up — songs to singers, events to years. The answers are all there.

Memory lane · 5 min

Chrono-Sort

Shuffle the events into date order, earliest first. Years revealed when you solve it.

History · 5 min

Memory Pairs

Turn over two cards at a time and find all eight matching pairs.

Online only · 5 min

Penguin Splat

Skate Pip across the ice — he can't stop until he bumps into something. Paint every patch.

Varies daily

KingsWord

Six guesses at the day's five-letter word. Everyone gets the same word — how few will you need?

Classic · 5 letters

Shape Match

Copy the shape at the top by breaking away the blocks that don't belong.

Spotting · 3 min

Fill the Gaps

Well-known sayings with a word missing. Tap or drag the right word into each gap.

Why a daily puzzle?

A few quiet minutes with a puzzle is a lovely way to stay mentally active, keep a familiar routine, and enjoy a moment on your own or with someone over a cup of tea. Most games have a Print button too — perfect for a large-print activity sheet. Missed a day? Pick it from the row above to play it any time.
