Everyone loves a good puzzle, whether its Sudoku or some word game or just something to puzzle over and you’re probably not surprised to learn that there are numerous puzzles for your iPhone. And most of them are absolutely free! Let’s take a quick look at some of these puzzles and which ones are very popular.

Catcha Mouse

Download at your own risk! No we’re kidding! This game is totally cool and will have you completely drawn, and you won’t feel like using your phone for anything else at all! Downloaded more than 2 million times by an increasing base of happy gamers, this game is very simple to play. All you have to do is to make sure that the mouse doesn’t escape. Lay traps for it in the yellow patches and make sure you capture it. Sounds easy right? Well, it is, but unless you play it, you won’t know how tricky mice can get, hiding away in holes and everything!

Labyrinth

This classic game is one of those which we have played numerous times in real life, trying to tilt a labyrinth so that a ball moves through it and finally falls into a hole. In the iPhone, it works in the same way and you have to move the phone, tilt it and everything so that the ball falls in the hole easily. The game is very life like and has shadows and some cool 3D walls too. Just ensure that you keep the phone parallel to the floor and just tilt it a bit to make the ball move. In the free version you can play up to 10 levels but in the full version, there’s an amazing 1000 levels to enjoy!

Word Warp

Following the same principle as popular word games like Text Twist, this game lets you create as many words as possible from one jumbled word. You also have to try and get the six letter word so that you can complete the level and move on to the next one. This is a cool game for those who love word games, and if ever you feel you can’t make any more words, tap on the Warp button, and the letters get jumbled up so you can get more words. Once a level is complete, the app shows you all the possible words and after this you can find out the meaning of any particular word by just tapping on it.

Tiki Towers

Have fun with a bunch of monkeys as you help them make bridges so that they can move on to other levels. Build bridges and towers using coconuts, bamboos and vines and help them as they move along. You have to help the monkeys navigate through various dangers that come their way. There is real physical simulation as the bamboo structures break and collapse when they collide with the environment. One cool game to be monkeying around with for sure!
