9 iPhone Puzzle Games to Keep You Entertained
Continuing with our round up of iPhone/iPod touch apps, here are 9 puzzle games (in no particular order) worth checking out. Each item on the list links to a full review with feature and pricing information.
Quordy
Find the most words, get the high score.
Smiles
Two games in one. Play the Drop mode for Bejeweled-like game play or the Zen mode for a Solitaire-esque game.
Spin
Rotate the object to match the silhouette.
Puzzloop Endless
Fend off a non-stop barrage of colored balls.
MetaSquares
Compete against the computer or another player in capturing the most squares.
Dizzy Bee
Use your touch device’s accelerometer to control Dizzy Bee and save its fruit friends.
Lumen
Use mirrors and colored filters to guide a laser beam through check points.
Imangi
It’s Scrabble meets the Rubick’s cube.
Amazing Sudoku
A flashy, stylized version of the cult game.

Another great one, and the one I can’t stop playing right now, is The Plateau!

I also recommend these puzzle games for the iPhone:
Trism (Abit slower paced, but very unique take on iPhone’s capabilities)
Tatonic (The nearest to Lumines as we’ll ever get, but has its own flavour as the number of atoms required to join up before being removed increases over time. Absorbing stuff)
Enigmo (One of the first games and its a very interesting concept.)
Trace (Not strictly a puzzler, but interesting that you literally draw the solutions yourself!)

You forgot FLIP, I am addicted to that game. There are three modes but the puzzle mode is my fav.

Puzzle games are great for the iPhone because they are usually short and sweet, you cant get in depth like you can with a RPG because with an iPhone you usually just have a few minutes to play

You might want to check out Tuzzle. Graphics are not impressive, but the levels are very challenging.

I love idonutconnect. seems easy but it’s the most difficult game that i have played in appstore.

Or..try “Numbers to 1″ simple and addictive! You can go on and on…

Don’t forget Block Drop! It’s an amazing puzzle game with beautiful 3D graphics and soothing music. Each level is randomly generated, so no two games will ever be the same.

Here’s a puzzle I made: “What is this App?” The point of the app is to figure out what it is. Great for people who like abstract thinking.

“T-Kara” is another great puzzle game and very addictive if you ask me! =) It has two quite different modes.. I prefer the Score Attack mode! Graphics are also very nice!
I first read about it on Touch Reviews:
