About these games

Puzzle games reward thinking ahead. There's no timer pressing on you in most of them and no twitch reaction to train — just a position in front of you and a decision about which move keeps the most options open. That makes them the easiest games here to pick up for five minutes and the hardest to put down after twenty.

The collection covers the two main families. Tile-merging and fitting games like 2048, Block Puzzle and the Sliding Puzzle are about managing space: every piece you place changes what you can do next, and most losses come from filling the board rather than from a single bad move. Word and matching games like Word Guess and Match 3 are about extracting information and spotting patterns quickly. All of them save your best score locally, so there's always a number to beat.
