Best-of lists

Curated lists of the best free browser games: cozy games, daily puzzles, games for your phone, games to play with friends and more.

The best cozy games you can play in your browser
17
Warm, low-pressure games that run in a browser tab: cafes to run, gardens to tend, creatures to look after. Nothing here punishes you for taking your time, and nothing needs a download.
Daily browser games: a new puzzle every day
11
Games in the spirit of Wordle: one puzzle or challenge a day, the same for everyone, finished in a few minutes and easy to share. Beyond words, there are daily games for history, geography, colour, golf and more.
Browser games that work on your phone
16
Games that play well in a phone's browser, with touch controls and a layout that fits a small screen. Open the link and play: no app store, no install, no account.
Browser games you can finish on a coffee break
36
Complete little games that take 20 minutes or less to finish or to play a full round. Good for a break, a commute or one more go before bed.
Browser games to play with friends
3
Games for two or more people, online or around one screen. Share a link and everyone's playing in seconds, with no accounts or downloads.
Browser games that teach you something
8
Games where you come away knowing more: query a database to solve a crime, work out how cryptic clues are built, learn where things are and when they happened.
The best new browser games of the past year
37
Browser games released in the past twelve months that players have taken to, newest first.
Cozy browser games with no combat
6
Calm games with no fighting at all. Good for unwinding, for playing alongside someone who doesn't usually game, or for any evening you'd rather build than battle.
