Mine is currently Net, 7x7 grid with wrapping variant. I take about 5 minutes on average to solve a level, which is the sweet spot for me

  Oh, this is kinda fun, I'm gonna play with it for a bit!

Strong +1 to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. One note: the main iOS app is a little wonky in places. I've been using Kyle Swarmer's "Puzzles Reloaded" app, which is a little nicer in places.

  Wow, didn't know this existed until today. Thanks!

The MacOS build on the page is quite old, and doesn't reflect recent fixes/enhancements. If you want to build it from source for MacOS the included instructions won't work because Simon's 'halibut' documentation tool will be missing. So you need to: 1) Build Halibut from source: git clone https://git.tartarus.org/simon/halibut.git cd halibut cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release cmake --build build -j # binary lands at: halibut/build/halibut 2) Build the puzzles app, pointing CMake at that halibut binary. Do this in a fresh build dir (don't reuse a stale top-level CMakeCache.txt that already recorded HALIBUT-NOTFOUND): cd /path/to/puzzles cmake -B build-osx -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DHALIBUT=/full/path/to/halibut/build/halibut cmake --build build-osx -j 3) Now you have build-osx/Puzzles.app and can (optionally) build the dmg: cd build-osx && cpack

I install Simon's collection on every device of mine, as well as PySol. (I'm stuck on Guess aka Mastermind right now, and damn good at it if I say so myself! Also Solo aka Sudoku on 6 sub-blocks, with X+Jigsaw+Killer & No symmetry+Unreasonable difficulty.)

Yeah, this collection is _awesome_. I'm currently enjoying the Towers (just do it on 5x5 simple, and find it quite relaxing!).

This one is so good. Original puzzles, works fine on mobile. Very future proof. My favorite is pearl.

I feel like I shouldn't need to say this, but Simon is also the Author of the awesome PuTTY. Until fairly recently, a vital tool of anyone doing remote management from Windows.

(Over a decade ago now?) I created https://kardland.com https://kardland.com with a couple of solitaire games. No ads or other bullshit. I had intended to add more solitaire games but moved on to other projects. At the time it was an excuse for me to learn Javascript.

  Nice! The first app I built and put is https://peopleneed.love https://peopleneed.love Just a simple site to let random people encourage other random people. It was a good way for me to learn some of the Ruby on Rails Hotwire tools.
