Puzzle Games to Play Free

Puzzle games are the ones you play with your head. Some ask you to fit blocks into a tight grid, like Block Blast and Block Puzzle: Jewel Block, where every piece you drop changes the space left for the next one. Others are logic grids: Sudoku and Nonogram give you numbers and clues, and the answer comes from crossing them out one by one. There are also word games, mahjong tile matching and hidden object scenes where you scan a picture until something clicks.

What they ask for is patience and a bit of planning. Look at the whole board before the first move, because the easy tap now can block the good move later. If you want a place to start, try Block Blast for quick rounds, Sudoku for a quiet five minutes, or Mahjong Lines if matching tiles feels better than numbers. All of them run in the browser.
