What makes a good puzzle game? Usually clear rules that never change unfairly, a gentle but real difficulty curve and levels that teach one idea at a time — and Brain Crossy Words has each of them in some measure.

Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
