They have a simple graphic, simple controls are they usually don’t last for a long time. The most famous flash games, especially among the kids, are the funny ones. They feature some crazy and funny looking characters and you can get them to do all sort of things. Some of the characters are even inspired by the real life. For example you can shoot aliens with Barrack Obama, or make George W. Bush to dance or help Paris Hilton escape from jail. But not all the online games are funny or silly, there are some serious games too. These can be educative games (especially for kids) or can be more complicated games for the adults. In this category the most famous are the word and puzzle games. These games usually take a much longer time to be completed, and they also stimulate your intelligence, creativity or language knowledge.

Some of the games require installation, but you can also play many free word and puzzle games without downloading anything! Just go on a site, choose the game, and play it directly from that site. A site that offers many cool and free games is shockwave.com. Beside the games that we are going to discuss today (word and puzzle) the site also contains other types of games. These are: jigsaw games, action, strategy, racing, sports, adventure, card and board games, shooters, family and kids, hidden object, matching, music and photos and also time management games. So you have many categories, and much more games to choose from, so you will never get bored with the same game.

Like we said before, today we are going to discuss some puzzle and then word games. Let’s choose a random puzzle game first, and we’ll pick the “Grave Shift sewers”. Here you will have to reclaim King Krump’s lost treasure and to collect all the gold and gems you see. Make your way to the White Warlock’s lair and deliver the message. Look for the keys to unlock the many gates to his hideout. Rid the land of the Warlock’s minions and slide the right blocks onto the Monster Generators to destroy them. Also find the stolen relics for extra gold and don’t forget Kink Krump’s Violin. To replenish your health and courage, look for food and elixirs. When you reach the Warlock;s portal you will complete the level and unlock the next one. And finally…be brave! So don’t get scared of all the creatures that will get in your way. The character looks and sounds really funny, especially when he gets injured :). When in the game, just use the arrow keys to move him in all the directions. Good luck!

Now let’s play another puzzle game, for example the “Civiballs 2: Empire Bounce & roll”. This is quite an interesting game that will stimulate your mind. Your goal is to drop all the colored balls into the pot that has the some color. For example the red ball must go into the red pot. You will have to use just the left mouse button to cut a chain. When you cut a chain, the ball attached to it will fall. You will have to calculate the exact trajectory of each ball, and make sure that it will go into the correct pot. Be careful at any object in front of you, because it will change the path of your ball. The first levels are really simple, just so you get used with the idea of the game. But it will get more and more difficult as you advance in the game. You will have to trigger different object, and the paths of the balls will become more and more complex, but also interesting to watch. So this game is really fun and addictive. If you noticed that you made a wrong move in a level, just press the space bar to restart that level. In this game there are three major levels (Rome, Vikings and Inca) and each one has 10 other levels. So have fun!

Now let’s play a word game too. The “Hollywood jumble” sounds really good, so let’s pick this one. By the way, if you don’t see the “Word games” category on the site, press on the “More” button to reveal the hidden game categories. Now let’s get back to the Hollywood jumble game. This game will test your English knowledge, but also the information you know about Hollywood, movies and celebrities. You will have a few questions in front of you, and you will have to answer to each one, in the fastest time possible. There is no time limit, so you can always visit google and search for the answer to a question that you don’t know. Just drag and drop the scrambled letters into the solution box, or simply type the word on the keyboard. The red circled letters contribute to the clues in the game’s final Jumble Solution. To complete a level you will have to reveal the final solution. Good luck!

These were just some of the many free word and puzzle games and there are so many more to be found on the internet. So whenever you want to have some fun, but also stimulate your brain at the same time, pick a game of this type. Enjoy!
