Here's a site I visit regularly for a quick logic puzzle fix Simon Tatham's GUI Logic Puzzles

My favorites include:
net - make all the nodes in the network lite up
rectangles - fill the grid with rectangles which contain exactly one number which is the area of the rectangle
dominoes - place a standard set of dominoes on the grid
bridges - AKA hashiwokakero

I believe windows is the only supported OS, though.

This is one of the very few puzzle sets that I play regularly besides DROD.

My favourites are solo, loopy, rectangles and untangle.

Although I must say that there are some new ones I haven't seen since my last visit.

I have these on my PDA.

Good for filling in time on buses and things if I'm without anything else to do. I do have a few problems with not being able to left drag with the styus (it thinks it's a right click/drag), so some games (notably bridges) don't work properly.

I mostly play loopy, net, pattern, tents.

I tried "untangle" and "cube" and I like them. I love those games that are easily to understand but have a challenging gameplay. (Drod also belongs to this kind of game)

These are great games.

There were some I couldn't quite figure out and couldn't solve to begin with like Tents and Loopy, but now these are like my favourite puzzles to play.

I really like bridges, netgame, pattern and untagle is also cool.

However, I don't like the sliding and flipping games, with net slide i find the most confusing.

Can someone explain more about blackbox clearly? I can't really uderstand the rules, and revealing solutions don't help either. This seems a bit too complicated, or too many rules.

I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Box_(game) would do better than anyone trying to explain with text-only would be able to do...
