How to play Block Puzzle
In block puzzle you drag pieces from a tray of three onto an 8x8 board. When a row or column is completely filled, it clears and scores points. Clear lines on several turns in a row for a combo. The game ends when none of your pieces fits anywhere on the board.
How to play Sudoku
Sudoku is a 9x9 number puzzle. Fill every empty cell with a digit from 1 to 9 so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains every digit exactly once. You never need to guess: every good puzzle has one solution that logic can find. When the grid is full and nothing repeats, you win.
How to play Arrow Puzzle
In an arrow puzzle you tap arrows to slide them off the board. Each arrow moves in the direction its head points. It can leave only if nothing blocks the straight line ahead of its head. Tap free arrows in the right order until every arrow is gone. That clears the level.
How to play Solitaire
Solitaire, also called Klondike, is a card game for one player. Move all 52 cards onto four foundation piles, one per suit, from Ace up to King. On the table you stack cards downward in alternating red and black. Turn over hidden cards as you go, and you win when every card is on a foundation.
How to play Nonogram
A nonogram is a picture logic puzzle. The numbers beside each row and above each column tell you how many cells in a row are filled, in that order, with at least one empty cell between groups. Use the numbers to fill the right cells and mark the empty ones until the hidden picture appears.
How to play Word Search
A word search is a puzzle with a grid of letters that hides a list of words. Find each word on the list and mark it by drawing a line over its letters. Words run in a straight line: across, down or diagonally, and often backwards. You win when every word on the list is found.
How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Mahjong Solitaire is a tile-matching puzzle for one player. Remove all the tiles from the board by tapping two matching tiles that are both free. A tile is free when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Clear every tile to win.
How to play Connect the Dots
In this connect the dots puzzle you join each pair of matching dots with a line. Lines run between neighbouring squares and never cross or branch. You solve the board when every pair is joined and every square is filled. Each board has exactly one solution, so careful thinking always works.
How to play Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle on a grid of closed squares. Open every square that has no mine without opening a mine. Each number shows how many mines touch that square, corners included. Use the numbers to work out where the mines are, flag them, and you win when only the mines stay closed.
How to play Ludo
In Ludo, each player has four pawns and takes turns rolling one die. Roll a six to bring a pawn out, then move it clockwise around the board by the number you roll. Land on an opponent to send their pawn back. The first player to bring all four pawns home wins.
How to play Spades
Spades is a trick-taking card game for four players in two teams of partners. Each player gets 13 cards and bids how many tricks they will win. Spades are always trump. A team that wins at least its combined bid scores 10 points per bid trick; one that falls short loses them. The first team to 500 wins.
How to play Callbreak
Callbreak is a trick-taking card game for four players, each playing alone. Everyone gets 13 cards and calls how many tricks they will win. Spades are always trump. Make your call and you score it, plus 0.1 for each extra trick; miss it and you lose your call. After five rounds, the highest total wins.
