Comments on Simon Tatham's Puzzles for Android

★★★★★ agentjr · Jun 1, 2026
A great variety of lil puzzle games, well-made and no ads. Has the best version of minesweeper I've played. The back button each game has is a lovely bit of grace, letting you mess up and immediately try a different approach.
★★★★★ John Grogan · Oct 19, 2026
This looks like an app made 20 years ago. It has something for everyone, so if you don't understand the first few games you try, look through some more until you find the one best for you. It is a bit slow when generating 80x80 slant puzzles, but most people aren't going to do that. Still, those large puzzles generate within a few minutes, and they last for a few hours of play, with it barely taking anytime to resume the puzzle after closing the app, even at that size. Thank you for making this.

Game instructions are difficult to understand and the entire app makes you feel stupid and inferior. Was happy to find logic puzzle games without ads. Now I just feel bad.
