A puzzle is a game, problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together (or take them apart) in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct or fun solution of the puzzle. There are different genres of puzzles, such as crossword puzzles, word-search puzzles, number puzzles, relational puzzles, and logic puzzles. The academic study of puzzles is called enigmatology.

The etymology of the verb puzzle is described by OED as "unknown"; unproven hypotheses regarding its origin include an Old English verb puslian meaning 'pick out', and a derivation of the verb pose.[3]

Solutions of puzzles often require the recognition of patterns and the adherence to a particular kind of ordering. People with a high level of inductive reasoning aptitude may be better at solving such puzzles than others. But puzzles based upon inquiry and discovery may be solved more easily by those with good deduction skills. Deductive reasoning improves with practice. Mathematical puzzles often involve BODMAS. BODMAS is an acronym and it stands for Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. In certain regions, PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction) is the synonym of BODMAS. It explains the order of operations to solve an expression. Some mathematical puzzles require Top to Bottom convention to avoid the ambiguity in the order of operations. It is an elegantly simple idea that relies, as sudoku does, on the requirement that numbers appear only once starting from top to bottom as coming along.[4]

Jigsaw puzzles are perhaps the most popular form of puzzle. Jigsaw puzzles were invented around 1760, when John Spilsbury, a British engraver and cartographer, mounted a map on a sheet of wood, which he then sawed around the outline of each individual country on the map. He then used the resulting pieces as an aid for the teaching of geography.[5]

The largest puzzle (40,320 pieces) is made by German game company Ravensburger.[7] The smallest puzzle ever made was created at LaserZentrum Hannover. It is only five square millimeters, the size of a sand grain.

This page contains a collection of small computer programs whichimplement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix(GTK) and on Windows. They can also be played on the web, as Java orJavascript applets.2023-09-20: I'm sorry to say that I'm nolonger going to be able to build the MacOS version of these puzzles.My Mac was very old and had been struggling for a while; it's nowstopped working, and I don't intend to buy a new one. If someone elsewould like to volunteer to maintain the Mac front end code and providea downloadable application, I'll help them get started, and link totheir site once it's up and running. Sorry, Mac users. In themeantime, there's always the web version...I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more smalldesktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window andplay for two or three minutes while you take a break from whateverelse you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found agood game on (say) Unix, it wasn't available the next time I wassitting at a Windows machine, or vice versa; so I arranged thateverything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on boththose platforms and more. When I find (or perhaps invent) furtherpuzzle games that I like, they'll be added to this collection and willimmediately be available on both platforms. And if anyone feels likewriting any other front ends for platforms I don't support (whichpeople already have) then all the games in this framework willimmediately become available on another platform as well.The gamesThe actual games in this collection were mostly not my invention;they are re-implementations of existing game concepts within myportable puzzle framework. I do not claim credit, in general, forinventing the rules of any of these puzzles. (I don't even claimauthorship of all the code; some of the puzzles below have beensubmitted by other authors.)Below each image are two links to versions of the puzzle you canpotentially play on the web. The 'js' link (and also the puzzle imageitself) links to a version based on JavaScript and WebAssembly. The'java' link is now probably obsolete: it links to a Java applet, whichmost browsers don't support any more.Also below each image is a link to the Windows binary for the game,and a link to the manual.

However, this is not beingupdated, because my Mac build machine doesn't work any more.Puzzles.dmg, as of 2023-09-20DevelopmentAll of these puzzles are written in C, with a porting interface sothat the same back-end puzzle code can talk to wildly differentgraphical front ends. The source archive above includes native GUIfront ends for Windows and Mac OS X, an X front end using theGTK+library, and a mixed C/Java front end for compiling the puzzles intoJava applets usingNestedVM.There is extensive developer documentationdescribing the cross-platform interfaces. If you want to write a newpuzzle or a new front end (to make all these games run on anotherplatform), this is probably the place to start.If you want to see the latest state of development, you can checkthe development sources out from my git repository:git clone , you can browse the repository on the web,here. 17dc91bb1f
