Additional Ideas for Playing Games on Your iPhone

The iPhone apps for chess, checkers, Sudoku, and wordsearch let you enjoy time-tested games that nearly everyone understands and can play. Obviously, these aren't the only types of games available. With the iPhone's motion detection features, many games even let you tilt the iPhone to control the movement of characters and objects.

Load up your iPhone with some free games and play them the next time you get stuck in line somewhere. Play a game on a long airplane trip, while waiting for a train or bus, or anywhere you need to take a mental break.

Games can help keep you mentally sharp and active. Then again, you're already pretty smart if you own an iPhone.
