This is a thread to find and share recommendations for puzzle games on iOS. There aren't many genres and platforms that go together quite so well. In the OP I'll share what I play. Hopefully you'll find something you like, and drop a few recommendations of your own. I'm always looking for new stuff to add to my library.

HOW'S IT WORK? *

Multicolored BLOCKS constantly fall from the top of the screen and it’s up to you to arrange them. Once you complete a row with these blocks they will turn into LETTERS! The only way to clear out these blocks is to spell WORDS. Oh and also you can MATCH COLORS—that will make letters too.

* CORE MODE *

Test your endurance by seeing how long you can withstand the downpour. Complete objectives to unlock POWERUPS that will make you life easier as the game gets harder!

* ZEN MODE EXTREME *

Don't have a lot of time? Great! This mode is Zen because the blocks don't fall, so you don't have to worry about them piling to the top. This mode is EXTREME because you ONLY HAVE 90 SECONDS.

ALPHA 9 has you spelling words to keep the blocks from piling up all the way to the top. Letters can only be moved vertically while words can only be scored horizontally.

There are two game modes to keep you going:

• The WALL is a matter of pacing yourself to make sure you never let the ever-growing wall of letters reach the top while you attempt to score the most points.

• The CLOCK is a workout against your personal best score during a set amount of time. It is a good way to hone your skills and your vocabulary on your own terms.

ALPHA 9 will give you a vocabulary workout while keeping you on the edge of your seat!
