What they all have in common
Nothing to install, no account, no advertising over any board, and no game on the site with a countdown. Several of the puzzles will also print in large type if you would rather use paper.
If you are setting this up for someone else, the family page explains how to hand over one link that opens straight into a game with the text size already set.
