Musaic Box is a puzzle game that uses music to define the pieces. Find outlines for songs, and then try to put them together...very fun and addicting. Don't try to play with the sound off obviously.

Impasse is a simple flash-based puzzle game that involves getting your object from point A to B.
Notes:
Levels you complete can be scrolled through using "x" to move to the next level and "d" to return the level select button to the first level.
The browser saves your progress, so you can close your tab/browser and return to it later.

Something has happened to the world. Everything has been flattened into 2D - except you. Now the world needs you to put things back to normal.
Antimatiere is a small puzzle game where you move 2D objects around on walls and floors to solve problems. It also has a slight resemblence to
Portal in that placing doors and windows punches holes through the mentioned walls, allowing you to pass between different rooms. Warning: Requires the
Unity Web Player plugin to run.

If you enjoy games like Myst and Riven, take a crack at
Cageling. It's a good thing your prison is a luxurious rococo palazzo, because you'll probably be there for a while.

PuzzGrid is a lightweight, fast game of forming associations, which is, ahem, "based on" the BBC's
Only Connect. Hundreds of grids to play and you can submit your own, too! (The BBC site has
a few dozen more, in a fancier, louder flash app.)

Blocky 2. Simple kiddie game with cutesy graphics and annoying sound effects, or addictive puzzle with surprising depth and strategy? Both? Either way, I've played it too often; now it's your turn.

Yeah, it's stolen from Digg, but that's a good thing. I read Digg so you don't have to.

The
Einstein Puzzle by Flowix Games is based on an old DOS game called Sherlock, which, in turn, was based on
Einstein's (Supposed) Puzzle (
Previously). No, it's not Friday yet, and no, it's not Flash. It's a really logical game, and it's really damn hard. I've only won once, and that was within the first few times of playing. If you find it hard to figure out what's going on, read
THIS... It helped me to figure out EXACTLY what the hell was going on. The authors are Russian, and the help in the game may only serve to confuse you. ;) It's free, and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm hooked on it, Dammit. :D
