Threes!

A sliding number puzzle you can play forever

iPhoneiPad43K ratings$5.99

The verdict

Most free puzzle games interrupt you with ads and timers, and this one has neither. You swipe numbered cards around a small grid to merge them, learn the rules in about 30 seconds and spend weeks chasing a high score. Free 2048 plays a similar idea, but $5.99 once gets you Apple's 2014 Game of the Year, shareable with up to 6 people through Family Sharing.

Get it if

You want a quick puzzle for a commute or a waiting room that never shows you an ad.

Skip it if

You already enjoy a free number-merging game like 2048 and don't want to pay for a similar one.
