Logic games for your phone: puzzles for the brain
A logic game is a good use of ten minutes on a bus: one clear rule and a problem you want to crack. Розгадай число is Bulls and Cows on Android, Влучно is Ukrainian scanwords, Pixly asks you to find an exact shade, and Chess Online adds lessons and puzzles to the oldest logic game.
How we picked: puzzle and logic games from the Censuus catalogue, each a different kind of thinking: numbers, words, colour, space and strategy. Features come from each developer’s description.
Numbers and words
Розгадай число is the classic Bulls and Cows: guess a number and use the hints about right digits in the right and wrong places. More versions in Bulls and Cows apps. Влучно brings scanwords in Ukrainian, and Wordzy is a timed word hunt you can play against another person.
Colour, space and blocks
Pixly trains the eye: lock the exact target shade on a moving pixel map before time runs out. Maze is a calm classic, and PopRise rewards clearing big same-colour groups at once. If you like block puzzles, see block puzzle games and sudoku apps.
Chess as the long game
Chess Online combines online games with lessons, puzzles, computer opponents and analysis of your own games. For longer games with planning, see strategy games, and for playing with people you know, online games with friends.
