Letris is a mix of Tetris and Boggle and challenges you to come up with words quickly and clear your screen before things get too dicey. Keeping things fresh, some levels force you to look for set words in a jumble of letters while others require you to use as many letters possible when creating a word. Killing time or just want to sharpen your word skills, a bit? Break some blocks and play Letris.

iOS

Infiltrating enemy territory and extracting intel is never easy, so expect some heavy opposition in this action-packed side-scroller. Run across over 30 levels filled with shoot-outs, explosions, and the occasional helicopter fights and upgrade your weapons to devastate your opponents. Fight your way through Extraction's increasingly-difficult campaign and then challenge yourself to see how long you can survive in a few endless modes.

If you've ever wanted to manage your own soccer team in the 70s--and who hasn't?--Flick Kick Football Legends is for you. You can swap players, trade them, and level up their stats by practicing shots on the field. As its name states, kicking simply involves flicking your finger across the screen to make penalty shots and passes to your teammates. Its cartoony presentation makes it easy to enjoy this game even if you refer to the sport as soccer instead of football.

Touchgrind Skate 2 gives you all the ups and downs of real-life skateboarding--the only difference is that you are using your fingers instead of your feet. Place your fingers on your board and learn tricks like ollies, powerslides, and heelflips as you take on the competition or roam at your leisure in a casual sandbox mode. As in real life, learning how to be a pro skater in this game takes practice and dedication, but at least you wont break any bones doing it.

Anyone thats tried to win a stuffed animal at a carnival might remember playing Skee-Ball, a deceptively easy game that requires skill (and a good bowling arm) to master.

Challenge your friends or take on the world in Words with Friends-like multiplayer, or just play solo and hone your skills for your next trip to Chuck E. Cheeses.
