Strong apps rank here, but they are not the ones holding the phrase — a listing that names it directly has a way in.

How to rank for “puzzle games”: no top app leads with it
At 12 characters it fits an app name with 18 to spare, yet the one name in the top ten that uses it is much longer — brands with the keyword attached, which leaves the phrase competing from inside a longer string.
Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“puzzle”, “games”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.
None of the ten opens its name with it — the one that spells it out puts it later in the name.
Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “puzzle games block snake” scores 33 on opportunity against this term's 31, at difficulty 29 rather than 55. It is the only one of the 24 related terms that does.
Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
One similar keyword, then other niches
Every keyword with its own page is listed on the keyword index, each read the same way.
