Over the past few years, I’ve played several online games for fun. Not only do online games have an abundance of benefits like relieving stress, but they’re also a great way to relax.
In this article, I’ll show you one of the best games that I love to play online, and the site that I use to play for free.
Online Solitaire
As a freelance business owner, I’m very much in work mode most of the time. Working from home can mean it’s difficult to separate areas of your life so trying to get a good work/life balance is something that I find difficult.
My partner was the one who initially encouraged me to try online gaming. I’m someone who likes to become immersed in an activity so he thought this would be the perfect way to unwind.
Having a browse of the internet, I’ve found a few different sites over the years. As solitaire is one of my favorite games to play, I tend to steer towards websites that offer these games. Unfortunately, many of them require you to download the game onto your phone. Having an older phone means downloading anything completely slows my phone down.
Recently, I found a solitaire website that allows you to play browser-based games for free. This means I can simply bookmark the site on my browser and pull it up when I want to play. I don’t have to sign in either which is great. My pet hate is having to constantly sign in and out of websites that I constantly use.
I tend to play the basic Solitaire as it’s super easy to play and I used to play this often when I was little. What I like about this game is that it loads instantly and there are no ads popping up.
This website also has a wide variety of additional games to play, including puzzles, word games, and hidden object games.
Daily Crossword
I know Wordle has become super popular but it’s just something I could never get into. Instead, I like to play traditional word games like a simple crossword. Here, there’s a new game every day so I can do it while I’m eating my lunch or having a bit of downtime in the evening.
If you miss a day, you can just click on the date and choose the day that you’ve missed. You also get a clock so you can time yourself. I never do because it takes me ages haha.
Benefits of Online Games
As I mentioned previously, there are many benefits of playing online games. Here are just a few reasons why you may want to get trying online games like solitaire or crosswords:
- Boosts concentration and memory
- Improves multitasking
- Enhances problem-solving skills
- Elevates your mood
- Increases your creativity
- Can help mental health
As you can see, there are several advantages to taking up online gaming. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these games or if you have any favorite games that you play online.
