Wordle
Wordle is the latest online puzzle game to captivate mobile users. Described by some as being as addictive as a drug, Wordle is an online vocabulary game that allows people to play just once per day.
The task is simple. Players are asked to work out a five-letter word from a maximum of six guesses.
Players first have to input a word. The game then tells them if they have any correct letters. The correct ones light up in green and the letters that feature in the word illuminate in yellow.
From that point on, it’s a matter of deduction – working out which other letters may form the word based on what you’ve already found.
This simple, addictive yet limited puzzle has created a positive gaming experience for many people all around the world.
The free game was released in October 2021. It had just 90 players on November 1. Now, it has over 2.5 million. It’s definitely one to check out if you’re a puzzle lover.
Fire Joker is an online slot game renowned for its simple, classic system. It takes its inspiration from classic joker and jester slot games that were typically found in pubs and bars before the days of online gaming.
With only five rows and three columns, it can be pretty easy to get the hang of and, hopefully, win.
And when you do win, the payout can be quite significant – up to 800 times your bet if you can build up a high multiplier score. There is also a free spin feature that you can automatically qualify for when you match up a number of symbols.
Users can play Fire Joker online on both mobile and desktop, allowing you to game whenever you like, wherever you like.
Mahjong solitaire, also known as Shanghai solitaire, is a computerized version of the classic matching card game. However, as most puzzle fans will know, it uses mahjong tiles instead of cards.
The aim of this puzzle is to successfully match up all 144 tiles into pairs. Only when all pairs have been made or when there are no exposed pairs remaining on the board does the game finish.
The game has become wildly popular all over the world, with it being turned into computer games by big publishers such as Activision, and included in entertainment packs by the likes of Microsoft.
For the avid puzzle fan, mahjong solitaire is a must.
One type of online puzzle game that has branched out from the virtual realm and into reality is escape rooms.
These games are pretty simple in their design, but they can be complex, yet fun to play.
The premise is straightforward. Players start the game in a locked room. There are clues scattered about which gives them ideas on how to escape. There are variations for different games, but usually, it involves following clues to find a key, a button or a lever – something you can use to escape.
Don’t get too excited, though – once liberated, players can then find themselves in another room from which they have to escape. Each level, or room, comes with greater difficulty. You may find yourself trapped forever!
One of the best things about escape room puzzles is how the game has evolved with technology. Nowadays, you can play virtual reality games that truly immerse you. And being so popular, there is a number of different escape room games and styles to choose from.
For puzzle solvers, the internet is a great place to find entertainment. Games such as Wordle have the power to take the world by storm. New games keep coming out all of the time, bringing a freshness to the likes of classic slot machine games like Fire Jack.
One of the best things about online puzzle games is that many of them are free to play and enjoy. And some of them allow you to win money, which is never a bad thing.
