Futoshiki is the Daily Mail's daily inequality puzzle. Each row and column holds every number once, and the greater-than and less-than signs between squares must all be true.
About Futoshiki (Daily Mail)
Futoshiki is one of about thirty puzzles on the Daily Mail games page, free in the browser with ads. Each one opens on a start screen that carries the day's date, and every reader gets the same puzzle that day.
The grid is a Latin square: every row and column contains each number once. Between some neighbouring squares sit greater-than or less-than signs, and the numbers you place must obey them. A few numbers may be given to start.
The puzzle opens behind the Daily Mail's consent screen, where you either accept personalised ads or buy an ad-free subscription. It suits readers who like a futoshiki with their news and want a fresh one every day.

Tips
- A square that is less than another can never hold the largest number, and vice versa.
- Follow chains of signs: a run of three rising signs pins down a lot.
