How to play games with ads without losing your place

Free embedded games can include ads from their publisher. The ads help support the game, but they can interrupt your rhythm if you are not expecting them.

Wait for the player

Let a loading screen or ad finish before tapping repeatedly. A new tap can land on the wrong control when the game reappears. Check that the level has resumed before making your next move.

Keep the source visible

If an ad behaves strangely, note the game title and provider. Report the issue with a screenshot and time; the website can check its embed while the game publisher controls advertising inside the player.

Put it into practice

Choose a game that matches this topic from the category directory. Read its controls before starting, try one round, then decide what you would change on the next attempt. The game image above comes from HTMLGames.com; it illustrates this topic and the game itself is hosted by that provider.
