Daily logic & number puzzles
Logic puzzles need no vocabulary and no trivia: just a grid, a few rules and one answer you can always reason your way to. LinkedIn has made this corner of daily games hugely popular with Queens, Tango, Zip, Patches and Mini Sudoku, which are all free and usually done in a few minutes. The New York Times adds Pips, a domino puzzle, next to its classic Sudoku.

Lichess Daily Puzzle
One chess position a day: find the winning move.
If you prefer numbers or paths, Nerdle turns the Wordle idea into a hidden sum, Mazele hides a route across a grid, and enclose.horse asks you to build walls around the biggest field you can. The trick in all of them is spotting the move that is forced, and you get quicker at that every day. For something different, Thinky Dailies changes the kind of puzzle every day, and the Lichess Daily Puzzle gives chess fans one position to crack each morning.
