Quordy
Find the most words, get the high score.

Rotate the object to match the silhouette.
Puzzloop Endless
Fend off a non-stop barrage of colored balls.

Compete against the computer or another player in capturing the most squares.
Dizzy Bee
Use your touch device’s accelerometer to control Dizzy Bee and save its fruit friends.
Lumen
Use mirrors and colored filters to guide a laser beam through check points.

It’s Scrabble meets the Rubick’s cube.

Another great one, and the one I can’t stop playing right now, is The Plateau!
I also recommend these puzzle games for the iPhone:
Trism (Abit slower paced, but very unique take on iPhone’s capabilities)
Tatonic (The nearest to Lumines as we’ll ever get, but has its own flavour as the number of atoms required to join up before being removed increases over time. Absorbing stuff)
Enigmo (One of the first games and its a very interesting concept.)
Trace (Not strictly a puzzler, but interesting that you literally draw the solutions yourself!)
You forgot FLIP, I am addicted to that game. There are three modes but the puzzle mode is my fav.
Puzzle games are great for the iPhone because they are usually short and sweet, you cant get in depth like you can with a RPG because with an iPhone you usually just have a few minutes to play
hey, is there a section just for latest news
I also recommend 2 picross like games for the iPhone:
PicGrid
PixelCross
Oh wait, you forgot all of the hexology games!
Earth is worth the 2.99, I cant wait for their new one to come out….
That one looks to be their best one.

I recommend you our puzzle game: Spin Quest. Spin Hexagon to match pattern. Have fun.

I love idonutconnect. seems easy but it’s the most difficult game that i have played in appstore.
Another cool game that was just released on August 3 is “iGuess Numbers” I’m already addicted!
Here is another great puzzle game – Matches Logic Game

Don’t forget Block Drop! It’s an amazing puzzle game with beautiful 3D graphics and soothing music. Each level is randomly generated, so no two games will ever be the same.

Here’s a puzzle I made: “What is this App?” The point of the app is to figure out what it is. Great for people who like abstract thinking.

“T-Kara” is another great puzzle game and very addictive if you ask me! =) It has two quite different modes.. I prefer the Score Attack mode! Graphics are also very nice!
I first read about it on Touch Reviews:

You should try CashMachine, really the most addictive puzzle game I have played so far.

Cube shifted is fun. You should try it. :)
The name is cubeshifter :-)
It is fun & very challenging.
The most addictive puzzle games for iPhone are Colorix, Trism, Tetris.
Of course the old favorites are great such as Tetris and Peggle. The one I enjoyed this year is Puzzle Path. Its really challening and unique gameplay.
Check out Spin Puzzle (www.spinpuzzle.com) . Don’t let the screen caps fool you, it’s not a slider puzzle. Great iphone-centric design, really puts the device’s features to good use.
Check out WordZinga! It’s a simple concept but very entertaining.
