Facebook is definitely one of those social media platforms that we love to hate. While it’s true that daily social media usage is decreasing as a general rule, it is still a part of many people’s lives. And by many, we mean about roughly 2.6 billion people on this planet. Still, Facebook does offer more than just mindlessly scrolling through posts and throwing out a like here and there. One of the more underappreciated sides to Facebook is their games. To be fair, many games have since abandoned FB and gone strictly mobile, but there are still some good ones available to play. But, you do have to do a bit more digging to find them. If you’re looking to kill some time, check out these fun games that you can play on the social media giant.

If you love Scrabble or Words With Friends, but don’t love having to wait around for the other person to play, Word Crossing is for you. Play is entirely solo, and it’s great for a little brain exercise. Boards are arranged something like a crossword puzzle, with a bank of letters below. It’s your job to figure out all the possible words you can make with the given letters. If you get stuck, you can consult the crossword above to help you figure out the missing words. It’s a surprisingly fun and addictive game for lovers of word games. You can start up and walk away from the game whenever you want, and it’s a very zen kinda game. No timer, no stress, just wordy fun.
