About word games
Word games test your vocabulary and quick thinking. Find hidden words, unscramble letters, fill crosswords and answer trivia questions across many topics.
Short words often unlock long ones: look for common endings like -ing, -ed and -er. In trivia, rule out the answers you know are wrong before you guess. Word games are a relaxed way to keep your mind sharp in a few minutes a day.

Brain games
Brain games are short puzzles built around one skill: remembering a sequence, spotting a pattern, doing a quick sum or answering a question against the clock. A few minutes a day is the point; they are designed to be picked up between other things.
