<p>I remember a long time ago, organizing and disambiguating tags <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/puzzle" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;puzzle&#39;" rel="tag">puzzle</a> and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/games" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;games&#39;" rel="tag">games</a> with help of @whuber. Since then, the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/puzzle" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;puzzle&#39;" rel="tag">puzzle</a> tag was not used that much, like you mentioned.</p>

<p>So, I'd say the risks which were listed do not apply for this specific tag.</p>

<p>On the other hand, the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/games" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;games&#39;" rel="tag">games</a> tag seems to have received more questions since then. So, maybe it is worth revising it, to see if it has been used correctly; and if not, to evaluate what to do next (for example, making <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/puzzle" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;puzzle&#39;" rel="tag">puzzle</a> a synonym of it).</p>
