A collection of puzzle games programs for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 along with software reviews and downloads for 32-bit and 64-bit titles.
A note to Tucows Downloads visitors:
- Hangaroo Free Full Version Is why you stick to know beforehand which spy app can automatically work on an android phone. Full Hangaroo Version Free Download Is the hazy place to binge-watch shows, watch videos, and other especially rated programs.
- HangARoo is a fun take on the classic 'Hangman'. Try to save a wise-cracking kangaroo from being hanged while trying to find the answer to the puzzle before you by guessing letters. Four wrong guesses equals a dead kangaroo, but guess the right letters and uncover the answer to advance to the next puzzle.
All good things…
We have made the difficult decision to retire the Tucows Downloads site. We're pleased to say that much of the software and other assets that made up the Tucows Downloads library have been transferred to our friends at the Internet Archive for posterity.
The shareware downloads bulletin board system (BBS) that would become Tucows Downloads was founded back in 1993 on a library computer in Flint, MI. What started as a place for people in the know to download software became the place to download software on the burgeoning Internet. Far more quickly than anyone could have imagined.
A lot has changed since those early years. Tucows has grown and evolved as a business. It's been a long time since Tucows has been TUCOWS, which stood for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software.
Today, Tucows is the second-largest domain name registrar in the world behind Go Daddy and the largest wholesaler of domain names in the world with customers like Shopify and other global website builder platforms. Hover offers domain names and email at retail to help people brand their life online. OpenSRS (and along the way our acquisitions of Enom, Ascio and EPAG) are the SaaS platforms upon which tens of thousands of customers have built their own domain registration businesses, registering tens of millions of domains on behalf of their customers. Ting Internet is building fiber-optic networks all over the U.S. At the same time, we're building the Mobile Services Enabler SaaS platform that is powering DISH's entry into the US mobile market.
Point is, we're keeping busy.
For the past several years, history, well sentimentality, has been the only reason to keep Tucows Downloads around. We talked about shutting the site down before. Most seriously in 2016 when instead, we decided to go ad-free, keeping the site up as a public service.
Today is different. Tucows Downloads is old. Old sites are a maintenance challenge and therefore a risk. Maintaining the Tucows Downloads site pulls people away from the work that moves our businesses forward.
Tucows Downloads has had an incredible run. Retiring it is the right move but that doesn't alter the fact that it will always hold a special place in hearts and our story. We're thankful to the thousands of software developers who used Tucows Downloads to get their software in front of millions of people, driving billions of downloads over more than 25 years.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Elliot Noss
CEO, Tucows

Many PC gamers out there like simplistic yet challenging games, such as word puzzle games, and thus a PC game like Super TextTwist is right up their alley, offering hours of fun.
Overview of Super TextTwist
One thing that many PC gamers enjoy is a game that's not too challenging and just helps them relax. This was why Oregon Trail and other similar games were such hits way back when, and why a game like Super TextTwist is so popular today. This game, available for older Windows operating systems, is basically a word scramble puzzle that you have to solve by making as many words as possible. There's nothing that's really complex about the game, but it can get challenging.
As you begin to spell the quick, short words, the challenge really increases as you're prompted to use the scrambled letters to make longer words, up to seven letters long. This is definitely something that will challenge your intellect. Of course, you can always request a hint, but the real challenge is in solving the puzzle yourself.
How Super TextTwist Works
The first thing you will see after downloading the game is an attractive, bright blue screen with yellow borders and lettering. When you begin the game, you will receive a scrambled bunch of letters and have to move them to the tiles by clicking the corresponding balls on the letters. The layout is pretty simplistic. You have the blank letter tiles on the left-hand side, while all your scrambled letters are right there in the middle. It's incredibly intuitive and will take you no time to figure out.

You have the blank letter tiles on the left-hand side, while all your scrambled letters are right there in the middle. It's incredibly intuitive and will take you no time to figure out.
The tiles are six three-letter words, six four-letter words, and one each of six and seven-letter words. You will be timed during the game and will rack up a score depending on how well you do. You can press the space bar to scramble the letters up, and you can use tab to clear letters and start anew.
Super TextTwist Features
Other than the scrambled letters and the blank tiles into which you will place the letters, there aren't a ton of features here. You will have an instructions page that will give you information all about how to play, how to score the most, and other pertinent information. Beyond that, you'll just be playing the game with a few keys you can use to scramble or clear the letters.
There's no big payoff with this game. It's basically a game to play if you like this sort of game, a Scrabble-like setup which will make you more proficient at figuring out words.
