skimomma Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I spend time most days waiting around for various things. I typically have my library book on me to kill time while waiting. But sometimes those waiting times are in short spurts of 5-10 minutes. During those times I play Sudoku on my phone. The app I have has really annoying ads and frankly, I'm getting sick of Sudoku. So, yesterday, I tried one of the other games that are advertised called Wordscape. I enjoy it quite a bit but again the ads are super annoying and kill my phone battery. I don't mind paying a reasonable amount for my preferred games to get rid of the ads but have no idea where to start. I am looking for game recommendations that meet the following: 1. Easy to be interrupted and restarted 2. Ad free 3. Not time-based (like tetris where things get more frantic over time) 4. Puzzle/logic type....similar to Sudoku, Wordle, and Wordscape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Inna* Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Best Fiends. It's free, ads are optional if you want more resources. It's a connect 3 type. Whirly Word. Ad free, I've been playing it for ages. I think there was a small initial cost. Word cookies. I think there's a small fee to get rid of the ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Not a game, exactly, but I enjoy the same types of games you list occasionally, so maybe we are similar enough that this might work for you, too: Duolingo. Pick a language or two and go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 If you turn off Wi-Fi and have it set to not use data, you can play ad free for a while. Then, you can turn Wi-Fi on and off and play some more, lol! I like Woodoku. Loved Wordscapes until it gave me too many words that are not words (or are slang in another English dialect), and my dictionary didn’t work to even find out what they meant. Number Match is fun, but it stops adapting at some point, and you just get stuck. It takes time to get there though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I like playing 2248 - it's a number puzzle game that you can play for a few seconds or a few minutes (or longer). No ads. I have no idea why it's rated 17+, it's literally just numbers and letters on the screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Have you thought about getting g audible books from the library and packing a set of Bluetooth earbuds in your purse? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I am already at the these-are-not-real-words part of the Wordscapes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do listen to podcasts and music sometimes. But the waiting I'm talking about can be 3 minutes.....not long enough to get into a storyline. Normal people can just sit tight for that amount of time, but I am usually waiting on people who are not respecting my time so being distracted is helpful (for them). And often I think I will be waiting for 3 minutes and it turns into 15 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzle/logic type....similar to Sudoku, Wordle, and Wordscape Some time ago, I started playing casino games and to be honest, they are exciting to me. I've tried a few different casinos, and I can say that the variety of games is impressive. My favourite one now is Rolletto, and here is the page https://casinosanalyzer.com/casino-bonuses/rolletto.com where I found information about Rolletto free spins, and with them, it's even better to play. If you're into gambling, then you should try that casino. And if you can also recommend one, I'd appreciate it. You can try Gardenscapes and Homescapes. Amazing games with no ads. Many levels, and it's kinda logical game too Edited July 25 by TerezaM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
