Quick answer
You can play all 19 games on puzzle free online in a browser without downloading an app or creating an account. Start with Easy Lights Out for a small logic board, Memory Match for pairs, or Tangram for shapes. Choose the game that matches the kind of problem you want to solve.
Which free online puzzle should you choose?
A useful first choice depends on the action you enjoy: spotting a pattern, arranging shapes, remembering positions or planning a sequence. The table below links to playable games. Select Easy in the game’s difficulty menu after opening it.
| Game | Choose it for | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Lights Out | A compact cause-and-effect puzzle | Toggle crosses of lights and make the board dark. |
| Memory Match | Remembering pairs | Reveal two cards at a time and match their symbols. |
| Tangram | Working with shapes | Rotate and position seven pieces inside a square. |
| Nonogram | Deduction from number clues | Use row and column clues to reveal a picture. |
| Sudoku | Longer number deductions | Fill rows, columns and boxes without repeats. |
| 2048 | Planning merges | Slide the whole board and combine equal tiles. |
How do you start without a download?
Most controls work with a tap or click. Direction-based games also offer keyboard or on-screen controls. Tangram includes numbered piece buttons and movement controls as an alternative to dragging.
- Open a game from the table or the full Games directory.
- Select Easy, Medium or Hard. Changing the setting begins a new round.
- Read the short rules beside the board and make a first move.
- Use the matching Wiki for a rule question or the guide for a worked example.
What is free, and what is saved?
The games have no paid entry or required player account. Personal results, favorites and recent games are saved in the browser you use. Arrow Escape, Sudoku and 2048 also save unfinished boards. These records are not synchronized between devices.
The website needs a connection to load. It is not an installed offline app, and clearing browser data can remove saved progress. If you want to return to an unfinished puzzle, use the same browser and device.
Are these jigsaw puzzles or logic puzzles?
This collection focuses on logic, numbers, shapes, memory and arcade play. Tangram uses seven geometric pieces; it is different from a picture jigsaw with hundreds of interlocking pieces. The current catalogue does not include a 1,000-piece jigsaw, custom photo puzzle shop or physical puzzle table.
Common questions
Do I need to register?
No player account is required for these games. Open a game and use its controls directly.
Is every game untimed?
Several games display a timer or include speed in the result. A visible timer is not always a countdown. Read that game’s rules before starting.
