Brain teasers and puzzles are some of the hottest categories of games on the Google Play Store. If played regularly, brain teasers can improve your problem-solving skills.

Once you’ve scored some points, you’ll try to get a better score the next time you play the game. Below, I’ve shared the list of top Android puzzle games on the Google Play Store:
