KenKen (Daily Mail)
Fill the grid so every cage makes its target with its operation.
Every day: One dated KenKen a day, the same for every reader. New puzzle: Once a day; the start screen shows the date.
KenKen on the Daily Mail games page is a daily arithmetic grid. Each row and column holds every number once, and each outlined cage must make its target using the operation shown: add, subtract, multiply or divide.
About KenKen (Daily Mail)
KenKen 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.
KenKen grids are Latin squares: in a grid of size n, every row and column contains the numbers 1 to n once. The grid is split into cages, each labelled with a target and an operation, and the numbers in a cage must reach the target with that operation. Single-square cages give their number outright.
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 kenken with their news and want a fresh one every day.
