I play a few word games every day - Wordle, connections, crossword - but I feel I need to look at non-word games to keep the brain agile. Looking for ideas.

I used to play 247 Hearts a lot but then I built a better version for myself.

The opponents are not AI powered but claude wrote some much better procedural opponent game rules and strategies so its much more challenging than 247 hearts.

It's been a bit since I've done anything other than Wordle.

Really Bad Chess was a daily driver for me. I loved the chaos, which strangely collapsed to recognizable patterns and strategies based on difficulty and board layout.

Oh, you said phone browser. Are you against native apps?

2048 is fun - you can probably find a browser version of that.

I don’t like installing apps but that’s a personal peeve. 2048 is a good one. Thank you.

Chess gives me anxiety - like I’m supposed to play to win and not just enjoy the game, unlike, say, Sudoku where getting stuck or filling the grid wrongly doesn’t seem as life or death.

Well...people who like chess who I've showed Really Bad Chess to really don't like Really Bad Chess. Maybe the flip side is true?

You may find the same anxiety as in real Chess but for me RBC is just a fun, soft brained exercise.

uncrossy. About twice a week I go and do the last few days of puzzles. Ever since I first saw it released here on HN.

My favorite mobile game of all time is Arknights, although it isn't a browser game.

Not a fan of installing apps. Personal peeve.

At a high level, why do you like Arknights?

That game where you sort the vials with different colored water in them. I'm on level 1473. Part of a collection called Offline Games

That dinosaur hopping over cactuses thing in Chrome when the network is down. I saw a vid of Vlad Putin doing it and I want to emulate the dude.
