How the site is laid out

The games are filed in five sections, much as a newspaper is. Each section page shows all its games and ends with a short guide to what is in it.

• Logic Games (49): the longest section, with Sudoku and its relations, loop and island puzzles, and sorting games for tired evenings.
• Word Games (19): five puzzles that change at midnight, then ciphers, anagrams, word searches and a few games against the clock.
• Memory Games (7): short rounds of remembering a pattern, a run of notes or where a card was.
• Card Games (33): patience for one, and table games against computer players, from Solitaire to Cribbage.
• Board Games (24): Chess, Checkers, Backgammon and Go, older games such as Hnefatafl, and dice games.

The large tile at the top of this page is a different game each day. If you would rather not choose, the Random button in the header will pick one for you. The games you have played and marked as favorites are kept in this browser, with no account behind them.
