When the day calls for a quick brain boost (and something fun!), Everyday Puzzles is packed with mini word games such as anygram, sudoku, word search and cryptogram. You can play as much or as little as you like, but if you love a challenge, try to keep your streak alive with daily challenges, climb XP levels and collect stickers.

What we love: The Flame Streak system has been our biggest motivator. When you play daily you’ll make it blaze brighter and start reaping snazzy rewards. It’s a playful nudge to take on puzzles, without a big grind.

Quick tip: Tackle cryptogram first for fast XP wins; decode celeb quotes by spotting patterns in repeated letters – you’ll crack ‘em quicker than a secret code!
