Step 1
Download an anti-virus program if you don't have one running on your computer. There are free ones that are excellent and will protect you just as well as the ones you have to buy.

Step 2
Locate sites to play
online puzzle games such as Thinks.com. Gamehouse is also a popular and safe site to use, as well as Pogo and Big Fish (see Resources below). -
Step 3
Decide which game you would prefer to play. You can choose games like Jewel Quest, Collapse, Bounce Out and Bejeweled--which are some of the most popular puzzlegames--as well as many others. Be sure your computer fit's the requirements of the game or you will not be able to play it properly.

Step 4
Play your allotted time or levels and register your score. Some sites give you bonuses for your score--such as Pogo, which gives you tokens that you can use for prizes. After recording your score, you can play again and try to beat that score or you can decide on another game. There are plenty of games to play.

Step 5
Handle your frustration. Since you are only given a taste of the puzzle game when you play online, you may want to download the game and play offline. This will give you the full version of the game and an hour of play time. If that still doesn't satisfy you buy the game from the site that offers the best deal. There are a lot of deals if you feel you are going to buy multiple games.
