One of my favorite games ever was Fantastic Contraption, used to be a free online game but I think it went on Steam (whatever that is).

There’s a “draw-to-solved” puzzle game called Brain it On on mobile, but they stopped updating.

What mobile games have you addicted?

I loved Kami and Kami 2 (artistic puzzle game)

And i really love [NoNograms](https://www.puzzle-nonograms.com/), a kind of cross between sudoku and connect 4.

What are you favorite mobile games lately?

Slither Link  
Cross Me

There are many games where you have to spell words (eg Typeshift, Puzzlejuice, Spelltower)

Tried many quirky games like Rop, Super Sharp, Prism, Hundreds, Blek, Dark Echo, Linelight, etc.

I think the enduring classics have something going for them (crosswords, Sudoku, Slitherlink, etc.), that’s why they remain popular.
