Gogen (Daily Mail)

About Gogen (Daily Mail)

Gogen 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.

Gogen gives you a 5x5 grid with some letters in place, the remaining letters of the alphabet to place, and a list of words. Every word must be traceable through the grid by moving from letter to letter in any direction, diagonals included. Each letter appears once, so working out where a letter goes means checking which words need it next to which neighbours.

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 gogen with their news and want a fresh one every day.

How to play Gogen (Daily Mail)

1. Open Gogen on the Daily Mail games page.
2. Read the list of words for the day.
3. Place each loose letter in an empty square.
4. Make sure every listed word can be traced through touching squares.

Tips

• Start with letters that appear in many words; their neighbours are tightly constrained.
• A word with two letters that must touch narrows where both can go.
