About PuzzleMoss

PuzzleMoss is a site of free puzzle games that run in a web browser, with a page of plain writing about each one. It has 232 games at the moment, split into eight types by what the puzzle asks of you.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants a puzzle without installing anything or making an account. The games work on computers, and most also work on phones and tablets; each game page says whether the game is laid out for a wide screen or a tall one. The site is meant to be suitable for any age, which is part of why so much gets filtered out.

Where the games come from

Every game comes from GameMonetize, a distributor that licenses HTML5 games from their developers and offers them to websites for embedding. The games belong to the people who made them. Developers keep their branding and their in-game advertising, which is how they are paid, and nothing is stripped out of a game here. A game only loads from GameMonetize when you press Play on its page.

How games are chosen and checked

The catalogue is rebuilt from GameMonetize's public feed. The last full sweep, on 12 November 2026, returned 31,086 unique games. About 5,864 of them were puzzles of some kind. The rest of this section is what happened to those.

Puzzle types we do not carry went first: jigsaws, escape rooms, bubble shooters, quizzes, colouring books and sliding-block puzzles (894 games). They are fine games, but none fits the eight types, and a catch-all bucket helps nobody find anything.

Then the content filters. 90 were removed for gambling, adult, horror or crypto content, or for featuring real politicians. 795 were clones built on someone else's characters or trademarks: Candy Crush, Tetris, Wordle, Minecraft, Disney princesses, Squid Game and many more. A further 1,138 were aimed at toddlers and young children, or were meme games of the brainrot and skibidi kind. We do not think children should be the target audience of an ad-supported site, and the meme games are mostly the same few jokes.

What remained was sorted into types by the words in each game's title, tags and description. Where the sort could not decide clearly (1,633 games), the game was left out rather than filed somewhere convenient. 74 more were the same game relisted under a new name, and 243 had descriptions too short to say anything true about.

That left a pool of 1,240. Each game in it was then read by hand, with its developer's description and instructions side by side, before anything was written. A game was turned down if it turned out to be a different kind of puzzle, if its text described some other game, or if there was not enough real information for at least 250 honest words about it. 304 were turned down at this stage, more than the automated filters caught at the end. The 232 on the site are what passed.

How the pages are written

Every game page says what the puzzle is, how to play, which controls the developer lists, and what else the developer has told us, and nothing beyond that. If the developer does not say how many levels there are, the page does not guess. Tips come only from rules the developer states. We have not played every game, and the pages do not pretend we have; there are no star ratings and no "best ever" claims.

Reporting a problem

If a game will not load, shows something it should not, or is not what its page says, email contact@puzzlemoss.com with the game's name. The same address handles suggestions and privacy requests; the contact page has the details.
