Sudoku!

Cracking the Cryptic has shown me the wonders of variant sudoku. My personal favorite variant is thermo. Their GAS series is a good introduction, or jump right in at logic masters

Minesweeper

I can't remember the last time I played. Never really liked the aesthetics of the windows versions after 7. If I'm in the mood I use https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/mines.html That version never requires guessing. To give myself a challenge I try to do it without flagging the mines.
Edit: realized its the xp version I liked, 7 was ugly.-
Nice. I use Minesweeper Online on desktop and Antimine on Android.

Word searches. I love word searches but I honestly can't find ones featuring numbers or license plates

Hello everyone! I've just stumbled upon an unusual version of tic-tac-toe on a large board: Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. I use to play here: https://tictactoefree.com/ultimate-tic-tac-toe

That's an interesting take on it. I wonder if that version is "solved". You reminded me of a 3d version on a really old version of windows. https://tcrf.net/TicTactics

Decomposing the current time into prime factors. 24-hour-format, only one minute time, then the next one.

I don’t play much any more but I used to love Picross
That's my favourite too, I also really like those Zebra puzzels but only if there is a grid I can cross out.
I haven't heard them by that name before. I like the cross the streams variant. Unfortunately I've played through them all. https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/category/shading/cross-the-streams/
Oh, I honestly didn’t know it had a different name. Perhaps Picross is just the name for the video game version
I love these, but TIL that one can get a book to do them by pencil.
