Puzzle games

This is the shelf the site was built around, and it holds two quite different things.

The first is our own daily puzzles. Rush Sudoku covers numbers, Word Circuit is a six-attempt five-letter guessing game, and Link Lab asks you to sort twelve tiles into three hidden groups. Each gives a fresh board every day and takes a few minutes.

The rest is curated. Sorting puzzles such as Water Sort are the gentlest end — trial and error with an undo, forgiving until the colours outnumber the bottles. Sokoban Push The Box and Bloxorz are the opposite, unforgiving of one wrong push. Word grids, tangrams and hidden-object scenes fill the middle.

If you would rather have a story attached than a board, start with Hidden Object Emily’s Case, which runs across several chapters.
