Games to play when you're bored

Got one minute?

Go for a one-touch game. In Orbit Hop you fling a comet from planet to planet and try to nail Perfect catches. Sky Stack has you dropping swinging floors to build a tower to space. Hoop Flick is a swipe to shoot, and the hoop starts moving as your streak grows. Drift Dash is one finger too: hold to drift through twisty roads, and clean lines charge your nitro. Every run is short, so losing never costs you much.

Got five minutes?

That's a word puzzle. Letter Lantern gives you six tries to guess the hidden word. Word Huddle asks you to sort sixteen words into four secret groups with four mistakes allowed. Step Stones is a word ladder: change one letter at a time to get from the start word to the goal. Each has a daily puzzle that's the same for everyone, so you can compare with a friend. More of those are on daily puzzles.

Rather play cards? A hand of Crazy Eights or a round of Speed Slap, where you race the computer to play every card one higher or lower, takes a few minutes. Go Fish Pond is gentle enough to share with a kid.

Got the whole afternoon?

Then pick something with a save. Our tycoon and business games let you grow a kitchen, a spa or a railroad over days and weeks. Chess against 30 rivals is a long road with a boss at the end of every region. Low-G Lander is quick per landing but has eight worlds, each with its own gravity and wind.

Still can't choose? Tap Random pick at the top of this page, or the dice button in the top bar, and we'll pick a game for you.
