Puzzles
Here's a pair of wit-sharpening puzzle games with which to while away some time. The variable difficulty levels let you build up your skills.
 Hierophant is a contemplative puzzle game rather like a 2-dimensional Rubik's cube. Unscramble the mystic symbol! Multiple difficulty levels. Download
 Oktagon is actually two separate octagonal puzzles in one program. One is a mosaic puzzle, somewhat like tangrams; the other is a brain-teaser involving concentric rings. Download
Strategy games
If you have the fiendish type of mind that thrives on abstract strategy games, here are three originals for your enjoyment. Each can be played against either the computer or another person.
 Pic-Tac-Toe is a bit like a 3-D tic-tac-toe game that has been flattened out onto a plane. Colorful and configurable - but not easy! Download

We have two word games in our Game Shop, and two less elaborate ones here on the free page. Don't be fooled, though - these little games will nevertheless provide an interesting to challenge to all comers.
 Jumble has nothing at all to do with the well-known newspaper puzzle of the same name. Race against time to decode well-known phrases given several choices for each letter. Download
 Whirlwords is an interesting twist on those pencil and paper word chain games where you must "evolve" one word into another by changing a single letter at each step. Download
Other freeware
