Puzzles

Daily Downtime gets the grey matter going, and no mistake. We have a range of puzzles for you to test yourself against, and here they are. Don’t forget that you can get a demo of every puzzle within the DD application itself. Just select HOW TO PLAY from the HELP section of the menu.

		Word Linker This is a tester for you. You have a word on the left, a word on the right, and an empty space in the middle. This is the Linker space. Whatever goes in here must make sense added onto the word on the left and added before the word on the right.				Quotefall Part crossword, part anagram. On the top half of the game field there are jumbled up letters, and on the bottom half are spaces for a phrase, laid out crossword style. Pick the correct letters from the jumble up top and make a sensible phrase.
		Trigraph Five words, three letters filled in for each word. Your task? To work out what that word is. Don’t worry, though, as you get a clue to help you out. Press the * button to switch between screens, but beware – the clues and the words are not necessarily in the same order!				Maze Oh come on, you don’t need help to figure out how to play a maze! You need to get from the entrance to the exit – possibly picking up an object on the way – and that’s all there is to it. Remember that you can zoom in and out of the maze using the 7 & 9 keys. Sometimes it helps to get a bigger picture.
		Number Pyramid Taking blocks off in the right order, you must arrange them to form an equation that makes sense. The maths follows the same rules as your basic calculator, not the fancy-pants logic of your scientific calculators, so don’t overthink it.				Tangram There are a bunch of shapes that you need to rearrange into one big shape as shown in the grey outline. This is tougher than it seems, and you’ll tear your hair out sometimes before you get it right. Keep the faith!
		Sudoku What else can you add to the most famous puzzle in the world? If you don’t know the mechanics of the game, it’s devilishly simple. You must arrange the whole game grid so that every row, column and 3x3 grid contains the numbers 1-9. You can’t just put the numbers anywhere, though. If you don’t use logic then you’ll get the puzzle wrong.
