Pegs is a game in which a number of pegs are placed in holes on a board. You can remove a peg by jumping an adjacent peg over it (horizontally or vertically) to a vacant hole on the other side. Your aim is to remove all but one of the pegs initially present.

Pattern is a puzzle game in which you have a grid of squares, which must all be filled in either black or white. Beside each row of the grid are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares on that row; above each column are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares in that column. Your aim is to fill in the entire grid black or white.

Netslide is a game in which you have a Net grid, but instead of rotating tiles back into place you have to slide them into place by moving a whole row at a time.

Net is a game in which the computer prepares a network by connecting up the centres of squares in a grid, and then shuffles the network by rotating every tile randomly. Your job is to rotate it all back into place. The successful solution will be an entirely connected network, with no closed loops. As a visual aid, all tiles which are connected to the one in the middle are highlighted.

Mines is a cross-platform clone of the popular game Minesweeper. You have a grid of covered squares, some of which contain mines, but you don't know which. Your job is to uncover every square which does not contain a mine. If you uncover a square containing a mine, you lose. If you uncover a square which does not contain a mine, you are told how many mines are contained within the eight surrounding squares.

Map is a game in which you are given a map consisting of a number of regions. Your task is to colour each region with one of four colours, in such a way that no two regions sharing a boundary have the same colour. You are provided with some regions already coloured, sufficient to make the remainder of the solution unique.

Loopy is a game in which you are given a grid of dots. Your aim is to draw a single unbroken loop from dot to dot within the grid.

Light up is a game in which you have a grid of squares. Some are filled in black; some of the black squares are numbered. Your aim is to ‘light up’ all the empty squares by placing light bulbs in some of them.

Inertia is a puzzle game in which you are a small green ball sitting in a grid full of obstacles. Your aim is to collect all the gems without running into any mines. You can move the ball in any orthogonal or diagonal direction. Once the ball starts moving, it will continue until something stops it. A wall directly in its path will stop it (but if it is moving diagonally, it will move through a diagonal gap between two other walls without stopping). Also, some of the squares are ‘stops’; when the ball moves on to a stop, it will stop moving no matter what direction it was going in. Gems do not stop the ball; it picks them up and keeps on going. Running into a mine is fatal. Even if you picked up the last gem in the same move which then hit a mine, the game will count you as dead rather than victorious.
