I am trying to block crazygames.com website using the hosts file but it doesn't work.

I added this line into the hosts file.

127.0.0.1 crazygames.com

Pinging crazygames.com [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Ping works but the website can still be opened in a browser (Chrome, Edge), even after running flushdns, clear browser cache/cookies, restart PC.

There's no proxy configured.

For some other websites, it works while it doesn't for a few games websites.

Why did this happen? Any other way to block a website?

I used the following in the hosts file :

127.0.0.1 crazygames.com
127.0.0.1 www.crazygames.com

This worked to block the website in Chrome, but not in Firefox.

For Firefox, see the post
