I like playing games online on my desktop to refresh my mind from the workload. Among hundreds of gaming websites available on the internet, I have created a list of the 10 best and free websites that I often visit to play games online.

After trying out many sites (and getting frustrated by too many ads), I’ve found these gems that make online gaming enjoyable and hassle-free.

Here are my top picks for the best websites to play games online. Each one has something special, and I’ll give you a little breakdown of what I liked, what could be better, and how you can get started. So, let’s dive in!

1. CrazyGames

When I first found CrazyGames, I was surprised by how many games they had. They have thousands of ready-to-play games, from puzzles to action-packed adventure games. One of the best things about CrazyGames is that it’s super simple to use.

Neither you need to sign up nor download the games to start playing. You just click on any game you want to play and start playing right in your browser.

The first game I tried here was Xtream Drift Racing. I loved the smooth controls. It was really fun controlling such high-speed racing cars with my laptop keyboard buttons. There were only a few ads, and they didn’t interrupt my game, which was a relief.

Some games have inappropriate themes for children.

2. FreeGames.org

This one’s great for people who enjoy classic, laid-back games like solitaire, mahjong, and word games. I liked FreeGames.org because they keep things simple and don’t hit you with pop-up ads. If you’re just looking to chill out with a puzzle, this is the place to go.

All games on this website are claimed to be family-friendly with appropriate themes for children. However, I didn’t find a large number of games on the website, but you may like to visit this website if you are a classic lover. However, I was disappointed a bit with the website because I like playing racing and fighting games.

Still, sometimes, I used to play puzzle games like Sudoku and Wording on this website using my phone. Games always loaded very fast for me.

Arkadium’s a great choice if you like brainy games like crosswords, word puzzles, or trivia. I discovered Arkadium while looking for a good crossword puzzle, and I spent hours exploring all the options. It’s a fantastic site if you want to keep your mind sharp.

You may find ads on their website just like other platforms but I never encountered any ads inside the player before or after loading the game. Ads are visible around the player that may indeed distract but won’t disturb you.

Even yet, sometimes I visit this website to play a game called “Who Wants to Become a Millionaire”. It resembles India’s famous reality show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.”
