Looking for something cute and fuzzy to play with? Something to entertain yourself with during those long hours at work? Something that doesn't require massive vocabulary or strategy skills? Try Chuzzle, the cute and fuzzy puzzle game on Yahoo! games. If you haven't played this game yet, you are not alone. Up until a couple weeks ago, I had not ventured outside of my normal repertoire of games to play while I'm supposed to be working. Now, however, I'm addicted.

Chuzzle is an easy to play puzzle game similar to many others. The objective of the game is to create a group of three chuzzles to clear them from the board. So what are chuzzles? They are cute fuzzy colored faces with eyes that follow your mouse around the board. You can put your chuzzles into groups of three either vertically, horizontally or triangularly. In order to do this, you move the whole line of chuzzles either up or down. The chuzzles magically disappear and more chuzzles move in to fill their place.

Once you have reached a certain number of points, you move up a level. As the level increases, the game starts to get harder. At the higher levels, chuzzles will start to "lock". When a chuzzles locks, that chuzzle will prevent the line it is in from moving in any direction. You can clear this locked chuzzle only by moving similarly colored chuzzles around it. Although it seems easy, I will admit that at times I was stumped. Sometimes you just can't see any possible combinations. For this problem, there is the handy Hint button. The hint button points out where you need to move a line to make a combination. But before you get too hint button happy, beware! Every time you hit the button, you take more points out of your total and it will take longer to get to the next level. Trust me, I was hitting the hint button like crazy when I got stuck at first.

Overall, Chuzzle is a fun, fun game. If you are looking for an easy game that makes time fly, Chuzzle is it. After an hour of playing I didn't want to turn it off so I could go home! I'm sure you will find it as addictive as I do.


Helpful tip: If you are stuck and can't figure out how to make a group of three, try moving the rows up and down or across. The chuzzles will shake as like colors get close to each other. When you see them shaking, leave the row there so that the chuzzles will clear! Watch out though, because as the level gets higher, the chuzzles stop shaking.
