Top Puzzle Apps

When parents think about puzzles, most picture cardboard pieces that fit together. And there are some solid apps that let kids put pieces together when real-life puzzles are less convenient. Then there are match-3 games and number puzzles like Sudoku. But there are lots of other fun ways to fire up your problem-solving skills. Some challenge your ability to figure out where things need to go to make something work, which gets your spatial reasoning involved. More advanced versions even put you into other worlds where you manipulate your environment. Whatever type is most appealing, these puzzle apps will get your kid thinking -- and practicing perseverance -- as they play.
