All twelve games

Every game of the daily strand can also be played on its own, as often as you like. Pick one and it starts right here in the page.

Spark games

One minute each. Memory, numbers and attention.

Flash Grid

A few tiles flash. Tap the same ones back from memory.

Quick Sums

Sixty seconds of sums. Each right answer moves you on.

Odd One Out

A grid of symbols, one is not like the others. Find it fast.

Puzzle games

Logic grids with one solution, and pictures to put back together.

Bridges

Join numbered islands with bridges. Every number counts its own.

Binary

Fill a grid with two symbols. No three alike in a row.

Lights

Each tap flips a light and its neighbours. Switch them all off.

Sliding Picture

A picture cut into tiles with one gap. Slide it back together.

Jigsaw

Real jigsaw pieces with tabs. Drag them home, groups snap together.

Venture games

Out in the world with maps and flags, or at the board and on the lane.

Flags

Flag to country, country to flag. Four answers, one is right.

Find the Country

A name appears. Tap that country on the world map.

Darts

501, 301 or round the clock against the computer or a friend.

Bowling

Ten frames, a hooking ball and pins that knock each other down.

The games are grouped by the lamp they light in the daily strand. Spark games are short tests of memory, arithmetic and attention with a clear score. Puzzle games are logic grids and picture puzzles you solve at your own pace, with undo and hints. Venture games take you around the world map or to the darts board and the bowling lane, against the computer or a friend.

All of them work on a phone in portrait as well as on a desktop, save your progress in this browser and need no account.
