  Yes! I'm always having a quick game of Inertia, Pattern or Slant while waiting for things to download, compile or just because I felt like it. It's nice having so many tiny little fun games available.

    Inertia is really cool IMO. I haven't tried Pattern or Slant, thanks for those recommendations. I usually show up for Cube, Flood, Guess, or Same Game.

  Some of the puzzles are also (better?) known under other names I first knew many of them by the Nikoli/Japanese names, under which they were released on Nintendo portable platforms. KenKen -> Keen Hitori -> Singles Slitherlink -> Loopy Sudoku -> Solo Akari -> Light Up Relatedly, there's a nice book with a mildly embarrasing title called "Puzzle Ninja: Pit Your Wits Against the Japanese Puzzle Masters" that works as a nice intro to many of these games, and has interviews with creators. Though I find discovering the strategies for new games to be part of the fun, so it is a bit spoilerish that it walks you through some of the basics, but ideal for someone new to the whole area. https://openlibrary.org/works/OL21160241W/Puzzle_Ninja https://openlibrary.org/works/OL21160241W/Puzzle_Ninja
