Logic, numbers and words
Sudoku asks you to fill a 9 by 9 grid so that each row, column and box holds every digit once, with several difficulty levels. Merge Numbers is a 2048-style game: slide the tiles, merge equal numbers and aim for the biggest tile. The Blocks is a block puzzle on an 8 by 8 board: place shapes, clear full rows and columns and build combos, with no timer. Crosswords and arrow words test your vocabulary with clues to solve, in several languages.
Help when you need it, never forced
