How to pick the right puzzle
If you have two minutes, pick a memory or sorting game, where a level is quick. If you have ten, try sudoku, a word puzzle or a Sokoban-style game. If you want something quiet and relaxing, solitaire or a sorting puzzle is hard to beat. If you want to practise maths, start with our maths games guide.
Tips for getting unstuck
- Restart the level instead of pushing on. A fresh start often shows the answer.
- Work backward from the goal when the way forward is unclear.
- Look for the move that gives you the most room, not the most points.
- Take a one-minute break and come back. The solution often appears while you are not trying.
Puzzle games also make good study breaks, and a few are close enough to schoolwork to count, as in games that feel like homework.
