Daily Puzzles

It is what it says it is: no cost, ad free, daily games. There are 6 games each day. They are a memory game like old-fashion concentration with cards, sudoku, word search, and three word guessing games (a quote, one of things that belong together (i.e. green, percussion instruments), and one they call Quote Falls where only the letters used in the quote are available. The games are randomly easy to hard. It’s challenging, but not overwhelming. It is a lot of fun. Plus it really does give the brain some exercise. If you like a particular game, you can download an app from them of just that game, again ad-free. It is not flashy, does not pulsate, does not have annoying music or sounds. It is soothing while still working the brain. It has never glitched or shut down. It has never locked up my phone. For those who have epilepsy, migraines, get dizzy from overstimulation, recovering from a concussion, etc. this is a great app! I had two concussions, cognitive and vestibular. This app would have been a great tool for continued healing after I was done with physical therapy. Because I had a vestibular concussion, flashing, pulsating, moving things made me dizzy. All the more known brain games, involve sounds, motions, flashing images and lights and I couldn’t do them. This is great. It’s fun. Its straight forward. I like the developer’s streamlined approach. I highly recommend this app!

After all these years, this is still my all-time favorite game app. It’s my first-thing-in-the-morning, enjoy-over-my-coffee daily ritual. It’s just GREAT because there’s a variety of puzzles to work my brain, there’s a timer so I can set a personal goal if I want to which makes even the “easy” puzzle days challenging, and —I think best of all — it’s self limiting. I can’t get drawn into an addictive binge and three hours later kick myself for frittering away so much time and sometimes even money on a stupid game designed solely to make me do just that. When I finish the six daily puzzles for the day I sometimes repeat one or two just to challenge my memory—try to shave off so many minutes the second time around but more often I shut it down and contentedly wait for tomorrow’s daily six.

Update: Could you please please please please bring back the older sounds? If some find them annoying, perhaps you could offer a selection in the settings, so we could revert to the older sounds, if we so wished. My husband hasn't updated in ages, and I'm actually jealous of his sounds. I think he plays the game in front of me just to annoy me. I just want my old life back again. 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 I absolutely love the new match game, and option to hide word seek words (now I don't have to avoid looking toward the right of the puzzle). But one of the highlights of this app was the magic trill sound after correct selections in the word seek. You know...that sound that's similar to a 50s game show that plays while they lift curtains and announcing, "...you could win this brand new CAR!!!!" I think I would give up all the updated improvements to get the "50's game show curtain trill" sound back. So I remove a star for changing the sound, and add a star for improvements.
