How do you waste your time over your morning coffee and/or at odd hours of the day, apart from here on GB?    My own regular daily twenty minutes of brain training with my morning extra strong latte consists of Wordle, Quordle (classic, sequence and rescue), Tightrope, Dordle and Alphaguess, all easily found online and free.

Of course, there are plenty of games which offer small puzzle segments (assuming that you are strong minded enough to stop at one or two at a time), but I am never sure which section of the gaming threads is appropriate for those: probably not quite casual, but no other obvious category, so perhaps here... I have in mind games like Baba Is You, Steven's Sausage Roll, Wormholes, and more recently CATO: buttered cat.

I like your morning lineup, Lex. Wordle, Quordle and Connections are my daily musts.
I'm currently being held captive by The Artisan of Glimmith. I'm 70 hours in and still loving it. Just carefully crafted puzzle after puzzle in a gorgeous setting with soothing music.
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba",
which ironically means absolutely nothing.

I love the whole series of puzzles on Brainzilla. I think the Zebra puzzles are my favorite but they have 50 different games and puzzles that really are enjoyable.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

I play Wordle, Connections and Strands daily and sometimes Spelling Bee.
I joined a group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

I need to checkout Wordle. Eveyone seems to enjoy that.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Crossword puzzles and Wordle are fun when I'm on the road ... the Garden of Puzzling Delights is my main hangout

I've been addicted to these lately. One has you guessing a movie, the other a musical artist. You get no clues to start and you gain information with each guess. https://spotle.movie/https://spotle.io/Linked from Spotle is this other fun daily where you have to estimate ridiculous numbers like "How many teabags are used in London each day?". You get three questions per day and when you reveal the answer it tells you the quick "napkin math" you could have done to get close to the answer. I imagine our friend Denis would have liked this one. https://fermi.gg/
Some say pigs are actually very intelligent animals.
Yet I have this whole freezer full of sausages.
