I've hurt my back so stuck in bed, mostly off my noggin on diazepam and naproxen so can't concentrate to read.

Any recommendations for decent, slightly absorbing games?

My sanity is in your hands

Homescapes
The Sims Mobile
The Sims Freeplay
Plants vs Zombies
And good old solitaire

Hope you mend soon.

Wordscapes definitely!

Staries

If you have an android phone, go on the Play Games app - there's snake, pac man, minesweeper, whirlybird, solitaire... there's loads on there, all free.

Fishdom

Pipandmum · 07/07/2020 17:05

Covet (fashion game).

MouthBreathingRage · 07/07/2020 17:05

Oh and Plauge.Inc! It's a pandemic game that's been out for absolute years, but a freakishly accurate simulation. Might be a bit on the nose at the moment but it is an amazing game.

Tiny wings is addictive

Noodledoodledoo · 07/07/2020 17:09

Happy Colour - colour by numbers which is strangely addictive. Also good if you want to drop in and out with tiredness.

I second Scrabble Go. Play solo games against the computer and you don't need to wait for someone to respond- and you can set the level to Easy.

If you like Jane Austen, Regency Love is really fun. I’m not normally one for “romance” games but it’s quite quirky and tongue in cheek, really enjoyed it!

Rose789 · 07/07/2020 17:17

Scrabble go
Candy crush
Match 3D

RhubarbAndMustard · 07/07/2020 17:18

Gardenscapes. I've been playing it for ages.

vanillandhoney · 07/07/2020 17:20

Klondike is my current obsession.

19lottie82 · 07/07/2020 17:21

Homescapes........ it has stolen three years of my life.

insancerre · 07/07/2020 17:23

Songpop2
Great if you like music

bridgetreilly · 07/07/2020 17:23

I really liked Sticky Terms and Song of Bloom (that one's a paid app).

Is so fun and random. It’ll take you anywhere around the world via Google Street View and then you have to guess where you are! I just managed to guess 176miles away from the actual place - I’m surprised at myself as I’m usually 5000+ miles in the wrong direction Grin

Get well soon @TheoriginalLEM Flowers

If you like crosswords then Kryss is brilliant

thebearwentoverthebumble · 07/07/2020 17:29

I'm playing the delicious Emily series, so much fun and sweet story lines. It's a time management game, addictive!

TheoriginalLEM · 07/07/2020 17:30

Oxyiz - I have stardew valley on recommendation of dd but i haven't been able to make a start.

I was obsessed with farmville when it first came out but it got too many bells and whistles.

Loved June's journey.

Any pointers for star dew?

Angry birds match
Woody - bit like Tetris but you can’t spin the blocks

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 07/07/2020 17:35

I've been playing Toy Story Drop for over a year now - very similar to Candy Crush.
