Frequently asked questions
Are there any good puzzle games with truly no signup?
Yes — Lexicon, Target, Sudoku on Puzzle Theory, Waffle, Nerdle, and Simon Tatham's puzzle collection all play in one click with no account, email or popup.
Why do so many free puzzle games ask for an account?
Retention. An account unlocks push notifications and email lifecycle marketing. Sites that skip signup usually have another revenue model — subscription tiers, tasteful ads, or a passion-project owner.

For a bundle of daily puzzles in one place, Puzzle Theory (Lexicon, Target, Sudoku). For a specific genre, pick the standalone game.
