Puzzle Games
Puzzle is the widest category here, which is why it helps to know what kind you are in the mood for. Matching and merge games give you a board that changes every move and a clear reason each attempt ended. Logic and physics puzzles have exact solutions, so failing means you misread the setup rather than mistimed something. Word and number games sit between the two, testing recall as much as reasoning. None of them have a run to lose, which makes this the section to open when you want to think rather than react.

Puzzle Games FAQ
Which puzzle games work best in a short break?
Matching and merge games, because a board can be left mid-solve without losing anything. Logic puzzles with exact solutions are better saved for when you can sit with one, since stopping halfway usually means restarting your reasoning from the beginning.
Do these save my progress?
Most keep your board and level in browser storage, so closing the tab is safe. Clearing site data wipes it, which is worth knowing before you clean up your browser in the middle of a long puzzle.
