About today's paper

The Little Daily is a free collection of five short puzzles published every day. Expect word games, number puzzles, logic problems and the occasional questionable pigeon.

01

Word Trail

One letter at a time, please.

Turn one word into another by changing a single letter at each step. A quick daily word puzzle for people who enjoy making life unnecessarily difficult.

HEAD
TEAM

Change exactly one letter on every line, then press Enter. Each rung must still be a real word — no leaping, no shortcuts, no cheating (we would know).

2 rungs. Mind the middle one.

Need a nudge?

Nudges are printed in the small type of your final result.

02

Number Path

Connect the dots without actually connecting the dots.

Fill the missing numbers and create one continuous path from beginning to end.

7 of 16 squares filled.

Fill every empty square so the numbers 1 to 16 form one unbroken trail. Consecutive numbers must touch — sideways, up and down, or corner to corner.The printed squares are already sure of themselves.Nothing is marked wrong until you ask for it.

03

The Odd One

Someone here doesn't belong.

Nine things have gathered here. Eight belong together. One is clearly up to something.

Tap the impostor.

04

Letter Box

How many words are hiding in here?

Use today's seven letters to discover as many hidden words as you can.

Words found 0 / 15

  • (nothing yet)

Four letters or more · the centre letter is compulsory · letters may repeat. One word uses all seven — THE BIG ONE ★. Find 3 to call it a morning.

05

Little Logic

A very small mystery.

A very small mystery. Read the clues, fill the grid, and name the culprit.

Who Broke the Office Kettle?

The kettle was found in four pieces. Four colleagues were in the building, each on one floor, holding one item, and drinking one thing.

The Little Daily can confirm: the kettle was broken by whoever was carrying the toolbox.
