Logic puzzles

Sudoku has a daily puzzle plus Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert, with notes and hints. Nonograms use number clues to paint a hidden picture, on grids from 5×5 to 15×15. Crowns asks for one crown in every row, column and coloured region, with no two touching, and the Minesweeper boards never need a guess.

Match, merge and sort

Block Puzzle fills rows and columns on an 8×8 board, and 2048 slides and merges number tiles on boards from 3×3 to 6×6. Gem Match has 40 levels of swaps, bombs and rainbows. Sort Puzzle pours colours between tubes, or stacks nuts on bolts, until each one holds a single colour.

Something different

Marble Machine is a physics puzzle: place ramps, springs and fans, press Run and land the marble in the cup. Hidden Cats hides cats in a busy hand-drawn scene, Jigsaw Puzzles run from 12 to 200 pieces, and Flag Quiz asks you to name ten countries from their flags. Many of these have a daily puzzle that is the same for everyone.
