    Good thread idea. Looking forward to seeing the huge list of games down the road :D I usually stray away from these types of puzzle games so it'll be nice to get exposed to the cream of the crop.

    the next whiskey bar
    +1 to subway shuffle and theseus

    what about Trism for match 3?

    SixSides is good also, that would go under Arrangement?

    And also Ivory Tiles and Shift

    I'm going to leave out Trism just because I'm trying to keep this thread about puzzle games with many levels, rather than the broad category on the App Store called "Puzzle". I'll add links and sort through the games tomorrow morning.

    frenzic = awesome
    puzzlings is OK
    puzzlequest is way overdue for an update but i love it
    blocked is frustratingly awesome
    pathpix is a great idea but i just don't find it exciting

    edit: i don't know too much yet as i just started playing it, but 'wild wild train' is seeming to be pretty awesome so far

    Trism definitely counts. Mew2468 Trism has a set of "puzzle" levels as well as the main match 3 formula. It is definitely a "puzzle" game.

    Match 3 -

    PuzzleQuest
    Chop Sushi
    Azkend
    Dapple

    And more that I don't have :p

    I think the requirements for entry in this thread need to be clarified though. What do you mean by "puzzle game?"

    As an avid puzzler myself, I thought I'd chip in with just a small selection of puzzle games I have on my iPhone.
    For a lot of these, there are free lite versions to try out.

    Can we make this thread a no Match-3, match-4, match-5 or anything like that? There are hundreds of the damn things.

    Trism is NOT a puzzle game.
