Hidato is the Daily Mail's daily number-path puzzle. Some numbers are given; fill the rest so the numbers run in order from the first to the last, each one touching the next.
About Hidato (Daily Mail)
Hidato 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 starts with a few numbers placed, usually including the first and last. You fill every empty square so that consecutive numbers sit in neighbouring squares, touching across, down or diagonally, making one unbroken path through the whole grid.
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 hidato with their news and want a fresh one every day.

Tips
- Look at gaps between given numbers: if 12 and 15 are two squares apart, the path between them is nearly fixed.
- Corner and edge squares have few neighbours, so fill them early.
