Classic 4×4 word-tracing. Standard Hasbro dice and scoring, timer of your choosing, drag-to-spell, click-a-word for its definition, and a pangram bonus if you cover every cell. Your scores save on this device.
Six scrambled letters. Find every 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-letter word in 2:30. Type or click to build, press Twist to reshuffle. The elusive 6-letter base word is the round's prize.
Drag colored tiles to restore a gradient. Four difficulty levels from a small bright grid to an 12×8 board of subtly-shifting blends.
Single-player Scrabble on a 9×9, 12×12, or full 15×15 board — each with its own tile set. Drag tiles from your rack onto double-/triple- letter and word bonuses, connect to existing words, and use all 7 tiles for a 50-point BINGO.
Grow a mining boomtown, built for your phone. Every save gets its own map: pan the riverbanks, quarry the outcrops, drill the volcanic field, then hire workers and watch your crews haul the ore home. The camp keeps digging while you're away.
Dropped alone with three items you choose from ten. Gather sticks, strike a fire, boil creek water, forage, then cut timber and raise a shelter before dark. Everything is done by hand at first. Then you build the coal bank, the fuel rack, the seep well and the traps, and one by one they take the chores off you. Winter keeps closing in.
Ten pins, ten frames, a regulation 60 foot lane. Drag to set your spot on the approach, then swipe to bowl: how hard you swipe sets the speed, and a flick at the end of the swipe puts revolutions on the ball. The lane is oiled at the front and dry at the back, so a ball with side rotation skids, grips and hooks into the pocket.
Eight ball on a full size table. Drag to aim (further from the cue ball is finer), pull back for power, and place the tip off centre for draw, follow and english. The aim line shows the ghost ball and where the cue ball goes after contact. Play a friend or the computer.
Grab a bag and throw it. Swipe the way you want it to go: how hard you swipe sets the power, and how steep the flick is sets the loft. Throw it flat and the bag skids up the board and can slide into the hole, throw it high and it sticks where it lands. Four bags a set, with the score filling in as you go.
A cannon, a stack, and ten materials that all behave differently. Tap a block and the ball goes there. Cardboard punches through and leaves a hole, ice skates a whole column off the edge, steel barely moves, and rubber sends the ball back at you. Knowing what you are shooting at, and what is holding it up, is the whole game.
Post-disaster homesteading on a hand-walked isometric map. Clear plots, haul materials, raise a lean-to, and get crop beds producing before the season turns.
