Puzzle Along with your iPhone

By Thom Yarbrough

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

This is one addictive game that will have you so caught up that you will not want to do anything else and using the iPhone to call and text people becomes sacrilegious for you. It's worthy to note that that immensely popular game has been downloaded more than 2 million times and it's simple to play. You have to lay traps for the mouse on the yellow patches so you can capture it. If that sounds simple, you're mistaken because it isn't. The mouse usually runs away from you by diving into one of the numerous holes. Hone your intelligence and sharpen your skills as you play this game.

Labyrinth

We've all played this game numerous times, where we have to maneuver a steel ball into a hole by tilting a wooden labyrinth. In the iPhone, this game looks real, with actual shadows and optional 3D walls that change perspective when we tilt the phone. You just have to make sure you're holding the phone parallel to the floor and tilt the phone slightly to play the game. The free version has about ten levels while the full version gives you access to 1000 levels. Awesome!

Word Warp

If you're a big fan of word games like Text Twist and Jumble, you will love the Word Warp game, where you have to try and form as many words as you can from the six letters that are given. You can move on to the next level only when you find a word that uses all six letters. If you're not able to find more words, just tap on the Warp button and it will rearrange the letters so that it might make more sense to you. If you complete the level, you are given a list of all possible words with and you have to only tap on the word to get its definition.

Tiki Towers

Let these cool monkeys make bridges and other objects like towers so they can move from one level to another. You have to use various items like coconuts, bamboos and vines to create these objects and you also have to help the monkeys move their way through all sorts of dangers that can attack them. The game feels real because the bridges and towers can collapse on impact and the monkeys could fall into danger. This is one fantastic game to monkey around.
