1. Pinpoint: It is a word game where players will be given five words at a time and they have to guess the common category of the words. The goal of the game is to apply fewer guesses to win and earn more points.
2. Crossclimb: It is a trivia wordplay game where users will be given a clue word as part of the starting point. Players will have to build a chain of words by changing only one letter each time. Here players will have to find the hidden word to win the game. Such a game enhances users' vocabulary and wordplay skills.
3. Queens: It's a Sukodu-like game but it does not include numbers. Players will have to place queens in each row but make sure that they do not touch each other.
