There are so many free online flash games on the internet, and they are so diversified that you can find a game with anything you might think of.

Even though the puzzle games are not funny or silly like other flash games, they are also really demanded and played by users. And this is because they will put your mind to the test and will keep you busy for a much longer time than a simple game that is funny and silly and which ends in 5 minutes. There are many types of  games in this category, and some of the most famous ones are the match 3 puzzle games. The objective of this game is really simple: you have to use only the mouse to click on different object from the screen, swap their position and place them in such a way that 3 or more objects with the same color are placed together.

When this happens those objects will disappear and you will make points. The final objective is to make as many points as possible before time ends, and to complete all of the levels. There are so many games of this kind because there are so many things that you can match. For example you can match 3 gems, 3 colors, 3 animals, 3 coins, 3 creatures, 3 diamonds, 3 candies, 3 balloons and so on.

A site that offers a lot of free online match 3 puzzle games is http://www.freewebarcade.com/match-3-games.php . Now let’s take a random game from the list and discuss more about it. We’ll begin with the one called simply “Gems”. So the rules are simple: rotate gems to form groups of three or mare, make them disappear and get points. As you can see the gems have hexagonal shape. You will start with just 50 seconds left, but the time will grow when making points. To make points you must combine 3 or more gems with the same color. In the first level you will have just 4 color: white, blue, red and green.

In the right part of the screen you will see your score, the level you are in, your time left and also a gem of each color that will grow as you make points. To advance to the next level you will have to fill up the gems from each color. So just click on groups of 3 gems to rotate them. You will be able to rotate a group only if it will trigger points. If not, the move won’t be allowed. The big white arrow indicates the direction for the rotations you make, and you can change this direction by clicking on that arrow.

Sometimes when you combine three or more gems and they will disappear and will bring together other gems that may have the same color. So this way you can trigger cascade combinations of gems, and these will bring you even more points. In the second level you will receive a new color -  green. Good luck!  (the picture below is not from this game, but from one of the most famous “match 3” game, which is Bejeweled.

Let’s discuss about one more game from that site, and we’ll take the “Fun fun animals”. Even though the game is in Japanese, you will still be able to play it. Just click on the start button to begin. Your goal will be to swap adjacent animals and line up at least three of them of the same kind. Even though the animals will look quite funny, you will still be able to figure out which are looking the same. You will have to match enough animals of the same time to complete the level, before time runs out. But the time will be quite short, and the game can become quite annoying because you won’t even be able to complete the first level :).

We are used with most of the free online games to be really funny and some are quite silly. For example there are so many games that are inspired by real life people and are usually making fun of them. In this category of games  you can find for example the game with Paris Hilton where you have to throw food at her and make her fat, or the one where you can make George W. Bush to dance or to do fitness, or the game where you make hamburgers with Tiger Woods.

And there are so many more games like this that are really silly and funny. But not all of them are like this, and you can also find on the internet a lot of serious games that require concentration and a little bit of intelligence. And these are the puzzle games. The controls for this games are very simple and usually you have to use only the mouse. You must click on different objects on the screen to trigger all sort of actions. But you won’t just have to randomly click on things, you will have to think first and see which is the best option.

There are many of them on the internet, and today we are going to discuss about some puzzle games where you have to make a square. Let’s begin with the game called “Classic Connect the dots”, that can be found on this site : http://www.superkids.com/aweb/tools/logic/dots/. Well even though the site is for kids games, this one can also be played by an adult because it can be quite tricky. Your goal in this game is to make more small squares than the computer.

You have to click on adjacent dots and connect them with a line. You will alternate turns with the computer, and your lines will be red, and the lines made by the computer will be blue. So just make one line at a time, until you spot three adjacent lines, and then all you have to do is make the forth one and complete the square. And after that you will get another turn. But be very careful where you place the lines! If there are 2 lines already, and you make the third one, the computer will spot this and it will complete the square instead of you. The game ends when all the board is filled with squares, and then you will see the score and find out who is the winner. After completing the board, just press the “reset” button to start a new game.

Another puzzle game where you have to make a square is the “Square puzzle” game found on this site: http://www.playitontheweb.com/games/Square-Puzzle-game.htm . This game is quite simple and it is  mostly for kids. You will have in front of you a red square, with red dots in it, and 4 shapes of different types. All you have to do is match those shapes and place them inside the square, to fill it up. Just drag and drop the shapes and place them on the screen until you complete the square. And after that nothing will happen, and if you want to play it again with other shapes, you must press the “begin” button. But as you complete a level and start another one there will be more and more shapes, with different sizes and it will become more difficult for you to complete the square. So good luck!

There are so many fun activities that you can do at the computer, such as watch a movie, listen to some music or play a video game. The video games got really complex these days and they have a very advanced graphic and game play. These kinds of games come on CD-s or DVD-s and you have to buy them first. But it not always necessary to spend money to play a video game because there are many free downloadable games on the internet.

Therefore you just copy them, then install them in your computer and then play them. But if you don’t want to spend any money for a game, or spend time installing it, then you can choose a free online flash game. These games are absolutely free and they don’t require any installation because you can play them directly from your internet browser. They have a simple graphic but they can be really fun to play and addictive. They have all sorts of topics and characters, and usually they are sorted on categories. Here are some of the most famous game categories: 3 D games, puzzle games, card games, racing games, shooting games, adventure games, sports games, kids games and many more.

Some of the games are really funny and silly, but others are more serious and require some concentration and intelligence to complete them. And these are the puzzle games. there are two types of them, the simple puzzle games ( that usually require just to use the mouse and click on the screen on different object to trigger all sorts of actions) and there are also the jigsaw puzzle games (that are just like a real jigsaw game).

Everyone knows the rules of those games…you have to combine the pieces together to make a whole image. And the rules are the same for the free online jigsaw puzzle games, and you have to drag and drop the pieces on the screen to make a whole image. But the online version is much easier, because usually the pieces will stick automatically with each other, if you just get the right piece close to the next one. So you won’t have to always try and see where it fits like in a real jigsaw game.  There are many games of this type on the internet, with all sorts of images to make. You can find two of them on the famous site miniclip.com.

And these games are: the “jigsaw – car” and the “jigsaw – ocean”. Their name says it all…in the first game you have to make the image of a car, and in the second one the image of an ocean view. The car is cool red formula one car, and the ocean view is a nice scenery with the ocean, some rocks and waves and also a lighthouse. Like we mentioned before, you have to click on a piece of the puzzle and drag it and drop it in the place where you think it fits.

It is easier to begin with the corners and edges, so you might start with them. Once you get a piece close to its place, it will automatically go there, and remain fixed. And you won’t be able to move it anymore, so you won’t need to bother about that piece. Both of the images are quite easy to make, and you will complete them in just a few minutes. After that you can make the puzzle again, or search for a new image to complete. Good luck!
