It took me until the footnote to remember that this is Simom Tatham, who indeed also authored a fine no-nonsense collection of little puzzle games, which has been ported to a bunch of platforms.

Here they are playable online on Tatham's site: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

And here's the Android version: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/

His puzzle game collection is as perfect in its domain as PuTTY is as an ssh client.

'unruly' and 'signposts' are neat little timewasters, but devolve into a lot of counting at larger sizes..

'flip' with random shapes is a great fidget-style toy

'galaxies' at 'unreasonable difficulty' gets pretty crazy

and plenty more, eg 'solo' provides every version of sudoku that you might want

Solo with 3x3 jigsaw + killer at unreasonable difficulty is the most fun I've ever had solving sudokus, requiring some really novel logic. In comparison, the normal 3x3 at unreasonable difficulty is really tedious, often devolving into a series of trial and error decisions.

I like Mines. It's Minesweeper but you never have to guess.
