Puzzle Games to Play for Free

Quote Slide

• Quote Slide is a free online game. At the top of the game is a hint with respect to a famous quote. There are several rows and columns in the game containing letters that are directly above and to the sides of the blank spaces that must be filled to reveal the quote. Each letter placed in a blank square must be found in both the corresponding column and row in order to be used. If the letter is in both columns but is not the correct letter, the square turns yellow in color. After guessing a correct letter, move on to other squares to begin revealing the quote. As you place more letters down, the quote will become easier and easier to guess. You can get one hint per game and receive a higher score the quicker you solve the puzzle.

Whizz Words

• Whizz Words is a game similar in design to the classic family game Boggle. During each of eight rounds, 16 letters will be given to you. You have two minutes to create as many words as possible using the 16 letters. After a round of play, you can select one of eight categories to be rated on. Each category reveals a different way of scoring your words, whether it is a standard five points per word, to bonus points for using every letter in the round.

Daily Crossword Puzzle

• The daily crossword puzzle uses numerous cultural references as well as general knowledge questions to make a dynamic crossword puzzle. Hints to each line are given on the right side of the puzzle. The puzzle can be solved by filling in the blanks across and down. Unlike paper-based puzzle games, you can reveal the entire puzzle when you are done playing or reveal a single word to help you advance the puzzle.

DuBlox

• The object of DuBlox is to move your square four-block "character" from the green tiles it starts on to the red tiles before time runs out. You use arrow keys to navigate the square across a unique pattern of cubes, flip-flopping from lying down to being upright as you move. As you navigate along the puzzle of cubes, each time your DuBlox lands outside the unique path of cubes or lands on glass cubes, you are forced to start the puzzle over. You will encounter a series of small buttons that you can push to create more green blocks to help move around in the game.
