I was thrilled to discover the online puzzle game... Patchworkz on wellgames.com. It is one of the most enjoyable games I've played. You are given various sizes and shapes of patches. Your task is to complete a quilt-like pattern using those patches. Your opponent will try to complete the level before you do. Each level has a new pattern. There are 250 different patterns. It is definitely addictive. Once I start putting together the puzzles, I don't want to stop.
Wellgames.com has lots of other exciting games. The games all put a new spin on old favorites. Beadz is a match three type game, but it doesn't get boring. It's not the same old, same old. Glassez!2 is a fill in the shape puzzle. It has over 180 levels that will keep you occupied for hours. Fitz is a fresh take on the match three genre. Linkz is a strategy game. Move the colorful marbles around the board to remove polygons of the corresponding colors. The graphics of these games are beautiful and it's fun to compete with others. Have fun and tell your friends about this wonderful website.
I like word games. Every evening I play the Chihuahua Daily Online Word Puzzle. You are given nine letters and the aim is to make as many words as you can. Your words must be at least four letters long and there will be one or more nine letter words. The letter in the middle of the letter grid must be used in every word. For more information, check out the Help page. This is a multi-player game. You can see how many words the other players have formed and where you are in the standings. You can also play random games on your own. If you like Text Twist, you will probably like this game.
Rush Hour is another challenging puzzle game. You need to free the red car from grid lock. Drag the other cars and trucks out of the way. Try to make as few moves as possible. There are eighty different games of various degrees of difficulty. Below is a screen shot of Level 1, Card Set 1...the easiest puzzle!
Fulfillment is a speedy block fitting game. You have to hurry and put the puzzle pieces together into a square. The levels become progressively harder. This is a fine solo game for puzzle enthusiasts. Good Experience Games has a long list of quality online games.
Futoshiki is a logic puzzle game from Japan. The puzzle is played on a square grid, such as 5 x 5. The objective is to place the numbers 1 to 5 (or whatever the dimensions are) in each row, ensuring that each column also only contains the digits 1 to 5. Some digits may be given at the start. In addition, inequality constraints are also initially specified between some of the squares, such that one must be higher or lower than its neighbor. These constraints must be honored as the grid is filled out. My favorite site to play Futoshiki is Justplayfreegames.com. You can choose your difficulty level and keep track of possible numbers for each square. The Help page gives clear directions. My spell checker didn't know what to do with the word Futoshiki. It suggested the alternative word Photoshock. ; )
