A little break. A game you love. No ad breaks. GameDrawer puts eleven logic, card, word and arcade games in one place. Open a favorite, try something new, or settle into a puzzle while your video plays. All eleven games are free to play. No ads, coins, energy timers or subscription. No account required. FIND YOUR NEXT FAVORITE - Sudoku: 6,000 puzzles across four difficulties, pencil notes and undo. - Minesweeper: uncover safe squares, flag mines and work through three board sizes. Your first tap is safe. - Math Crossword: fill missing numbers so every crossing equation works. Three difficulties, a number bank and step-by-step help. - Nonogram: turn row and column clues into a picture, from 5x5 to 20x20. - Solitaire: classic Klondike with draw 1, 2 or 3 and undo. - FreeCell: work a deal through four free cells, with undo and deal-number selection. - Five Letter: find a five-letter word in six tries. A shared Daily word and Unlimited rounds. - Word Grid: trace neighboring letters to find words. Choose Timed or Relaxed play. - Merge: slide matching numbers toward 2048, or keep going in Infinite mode. - Stack: land sliding blocks and build a taller tower. - Snake: steer, eat and grow. Wrap around the edges or play with walls. STUCK? SEE A NEXT STEP Ask for help in supported puzzle games. Follow a Sudoku or Nonogram deduction, see a useful FreeCell move, or reveal a word in Word Grid. You choose when to apply the help. Assisted wins still count, but do not set records; revealed Word Grid words score zero. Sudoku and Nonogram also let you keep solving in Practice after your last life. KEEP YOUR SHOW. MAKE YOUR MOVE. Video Mode offers six positions for playing alongside Picture-in-Picture. Pick the space for your video and the game layout adapts around it. Picture-in- Picture requires a video app that supports it. PICK UP YOUR PUZZLE LATER Supported in-progress puzzles save automatically. Come back to your board, use undo when you need it, and track wins, best times and high scores across the collection. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 35 themes or create custom colors. Adjust sound, haptics and animations to suit the moment. PLAY WITHOUT A SIGNAL Every game works offline. Stats stay on your device, with optional iCloud sync. No required sign-up stands between you and a game. Open the drawer. Find your next favorite.
