What kind of puzzles do you like to do to keep your brain active?

I enjoy doing puzzles to stimulate my mind. I am looking for some ideas for new puzzles I can try as I have gone through plenty during this quarantine. Can someone point me in the right direction or recommend some of their favorites?

There's an app called CodyCross...GREAT word game...added bonus is the relaxing backround music. Set it on difficult for an added challenge.

I think the current AARP puzzles offering is a pretty good mix. I regularly play: Mahjong Remix (and occasionally some of the other solitaire versions), CodeWord and Bridge.  Also enjoy an occasional game of Word Wipe, 10x10 (when I have time, it can take a while), Pool (8- and 9-Ball both), and Backgammon. Enjoy playing on-line Bridge and Chess but have to honestly say I don't care too much for either of the current versions AARP is using. Would like to see Scrabble and Logic-Art (see most issues of Games Magazine) added to the AARP site because I trust their site security more than some of the sites I find elsewhere on the Internet.

Each evening I start with a hard to very hard crossword puzzle, then play a few hands of online bridge.  After that, I enjoy a difficult word search and finish with several games of mahjong solitaire.

Anything that has to do with words and mystery whodunnits. Also art games especially that deal with colors.
