About Making Tracks (Daily Mail)
Making Tracks 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.
Making Tracks follows the train tracks puzzle: a few pieces of track are given, including the two ends of the line on the grid's edges. You lay straight and curved pieces to join them in one continuous route, and the numbers beside each row and column tell you how many squares in that line the track passes through.
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 short path puzzle with their news and want a fresh one every day.
