Why a small catalogue
Finding a game should be part of the fun. A focused collection makes it easier to compare puzzle styles, read the instructions and choose something that suits the time you have available.
Vzzle brings together 20 puzzle games across 6 categories. Each one has a page explaining how it works, the available controls and devices, and a few tactics to try as you learn.
The game pages put this information next to the player, so you can check a control or revisit a tip without leaving the site.
How we choose games
The collection covers several ways to play, from finding objects and matching tiles to solving number grids. These are the things we want the catalogue to offer:
- Room to think. Games where observation, planning or a different approach can help you make progress.
- Clear instructions. An explanation of the goal, the controls and useful starting strategies. Rules and difficulty can vary between games.
- Browser play. Start from the game page without installing an app. Check the device information on each page for supported platforms.
- Variety. Different puzzle styles give you a choice between a quick word search, a longer jigsaw and everything in between.
The result is a catalogue where every category has at least three different games in it, and where you can read about a game before deciding to spend twenty minutes on it.
Who runs Vzzle
Vzzle is run by Vivek, who is responsible for the collection and its guides. Questions, suggestions and corrections come back to the same place.
Vzzle brings games and explanatory guides together in one place. Game developers and hosting providers remain responsible for the games themselves; our role is to help you discover and understand the collection.
You can reach us at [email protected] or through the contact page. Include the game name and what happened when reporting an issue, so we can look into the right page.
Where the games come from
We do not develop the games on this site. Every game is created by an independent studio or developer and hosted by them, and we embed it here with attribution back to the source. All artwork, titles, characters and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Games are distributed through Playgama, which handles hosting and delivery. If you hold the rights to a game listed here and want it removed, our DMCA page explains exactly how, and we act on valid requests promptly.
How Vzzle makes money
Vzzle may display Google AdSense advertising to support the site. There is no Vzzle subscription or account fee. Some games may offer their own purchases or rewarded ads; check the details on each game page. Ad formats and placements are managed through our ad settings.
The site uses Google Analytics. Games can also load services from their hosting providers after you start playing. Our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy explain these services and the preferences stored in your browser.
Editorial standards
A few commitments that are worth stating plainly, because they are easy to claim and easy to check:
- No invented ratings. You will not find star scores on this site, because we do not collect ratings from anyone. Publishing fake ones to win a search snippet is dishonest, so we do not.
- No copied descriptions. Publisher copy is used as a factual reference when we check how a game works, never reproduced as our own writing.
- No invented research. Where our guides touch on psychology or cognition, we describe well-known concepts in general terms and avoid citing studies we have not read. If we cannot support a claim, we do not make it.
- Corrections get made. Games get updated and mechanics change. Tell us something is wrong and we will fix it and note the update date.
What is next
More games, added at the pace we can properly review them, and more strategy guides: there are 6 at the moment, covering Sudoku technique, Mahjong tactics, hidden object search method and word grid shortcuts. If there is a puzzle genre you would like us to cover, tell us.
