If you’re looking for some online fun, look no further than Bing Games. That’s right, Microsoft’s search engine has a number of fun and free online games, and these are the best options.

Sudoku is a classic game where you have to fill a 9×9 grid with numbers from one to nine so that each row, column, and 3×3 grid contains a unique number. There have been different forms of Sudoku since the 19th century, although the version we know now was popularized in 1986.

The Bing version lets you choose between three difficulty levels and gives you different starting numbers each time you play. It's easy to just pencil in the numbers as you plan and then write them down to confirm your choice.

Do you love jigsaw puzzles but don't have enough space for them? Don't worry, you can complete tons of great jigsaw puzzles for free on Bing.

There are different images with different themes to choose from, including categories like animals, nature, and travel. After making your selection, select the difficulty level you want. The more advanced the level, the more pieces you will get. Simply drag and drop them to arrange them.

Bing isn't the only site where you can build puzzles. Check out our list of the best free puzzle sites to learn more.

When you need a quick distraction, Bubble Shooter is a great game to play. This fun puzzle game places randomly colored bubbles on the board. You control a launcher at the bottom of the screen that shoots bubbles upwards. Your job is to aim and shoot the bubbles to create groups of three or more bubbles of the same color. When you match at least three bubbles, they explode and disappear.

As you continue playing, the board gradually moves down, reducing your available space and increasing the challenge. You have to act fast and think strategically because the game ends when the bubbles reach the bottom of the screen. With simple controls and addictive gameplay, Bubble Shooter is a timeless classic that you can easily get lost in for hours at a time. So, set your sights and start popping those bubbles.

Chess is a board game played by two players, where each player has 16 pieces: a king, a queen, a bishop, a knight, a rook, and pawns. The goal is to put your opponent's king in a position where he cannot escape capture, also known as checkmate.

You've probably played this game before, but now you can play it for free against a computer on Bing. Your possible moves are shown with green dots, and the computer will take over once you make a move. A green frame will highlight the square you just left.

There's also an undo button to correct mistakes or try different strategies without restarting the entire game. With each move, you'll hear a satisfying beeping sound, which you can turn off if it gets too annoying. The game continues until one player is eliminated or a draw is declared.

Remember the classic Solitaire game that came with Windows? Microsoft has revamped it into the Solitaire Collection on Bing. The game features five popular versions: Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, and TriPeaks. Each has a daily challenge mode where you can collect coins to unlock monthly badges at Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond levels.

There’s also a Star Club Challenge! Complete challenges and earn stars to unlock new challenge sets and packs. With eight themes, including animals, nature, and travel, you can customize your gaming experience and add fun to every round.

Word Twister is a fun and challenging word game on Bing. You start with a set of letters to rearrange to make words. The more words you discover, the higher your score. If you get stuck, you can shuffle the letters or use the hint option for help.

To play, simply drag the letters to the corresponding squares. Once you think you have a word, click Checks Press the button to see if you got it right. Don't worry if you get it wrong — Bing will give you another chance.

2048 is a simple yet addictive online game that you can play for free on Bing. The goal is to merge numbered squares on a grid so that they form a square with a value of 2048.

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move the tiles displayed on a soothing water background. The fewer turns it takes to reach the 2048 tile, the higher your final score.

Did you know that you can recreate the number 2048 in Microsoft Excel? It may sound strange, but it's one of the many games you can play in a spreadsheet program.

You usually find crosswords on the back of a newspaper, but you can play them directly in your browser using Bing. All the crosswords are movie-themed, so you may have a hard time if you're not a movie fan, but you can always search Bing for the answers!

If you don't like the crossword you've got, just click the refresh icon and you'll get a new one. However, their number is limited, so you might want to explore other puzzle apps and sites once you're done with them.

Ball Pool is a classic and popular game that has been entertaining people for decades. Now you can play it for free on Bing.

To play, use your mouse to aim and adjust the power of your shot by pulling the stick back. The longer you hold the stick and pull it back, the stronger your shot will be. Use the stick to hit the white ball and send it into the other balls until it goes into the pockets.

Make sure not to hit the balls randomly, but use the lines that appear when you shoot to predict where the next ball will land. This can help you plan your moves strategically and score more points.

Where to find more Bing games

These are all the games that Bing currently offers. They are all fairly simple but provide a great way to pass the time. However, Bing used to have games like Bejeweled, Blackjack, and Ranch Rush. You might be wondering where these games went.

Although these games are no longer hosted on Bing, you can find them on MSN Games. This site isn’t updated very often, but all of the games run natively in your browser via HTML, so you don’t need to download any plugins. MSN Games also hosts games that Bing hasn’t hosted before, such as Mahjong, Multiplayer Poker, Word Wipe, and more. Additionally, be sure to check the Bing Fun page for any updates.
