    You can get a computer which can run Steam the low-spec library for less than $100 if you get a very common used office computer. I’ve seen as low as $50 for a functional machine only a few years old. Most likely it could run most puzzle games.

      My computer is supposed to be able to run anything, and it runs virtually nothing. I can’t even get basic things like email or older games to run on this thing. I’ve never had good luck with technology - but maybe I’ll invest in a newer computer once of these days and hope for the best.

        Sounds like it’s relatively new. If it came out of the box not being able to run games or email you may have some faulty hardware. If it ran decently at first but now having issues you may have some processes running taking up all your computer’s resources. The latter issue is a pretty straightforward fix by an IT guy, but the only way around hardware failure is replacement.
