Below is the list of nominees for the Puzzle App Games of the Year awards, known around the world as the famous PAGY Awards.  
It's very possible that there were other worthy puzzles that are not on this list.  Every week there are approximately 200 new games published on the App Store with a classification of 'puzzle'. It's impossible to scrutinize them all. But we did our best.
If you know of a great puzzle app that was overlooked: let us know in the comments section below.
Tomorrow, I will post the 2017 PAGY winners.
