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?

I like doing crossword puzzles. They help me to stay mentally active and improve my vocabulary. I try to complete one crossword puzzle a week. There are a lot of great crosswords and other word games here.

Every day I do an online jigsaw puzzle. For me, they are more satisfying than actual jigsaw puzzles because it's so easy to manipulate the pieces with my mouse. There are at least five free online jigsaw puzzle sites to choose from. I visit a different site each day for variety.

Try Games Magazine. It has all kinds of puzzles. My favorites are the Cryptic Crosswords. There are crypto quotes, regular crosswords, double and triple clue crosswords, double crosswords, etc. Keep you busy and challenged.

Love word searches. Used to play them years ago. Then had surgery and couldn’t concentrate on reading and did not watch tv. Found an old spiral bound 340 word search puzzle book with an average of 32words per puzzle. Finished in 2 months. Really enjoyed them. So ordered some more word searches. But the old puzzle book was the best

I love the daily puzzles, codeword, crosswords, sudoku, solitaire and word finds. Sometimes play the jigsaw puzzle but if it times out there is no way for me to finish so I don’t really like it for that reason.

the puzzle i like best is a game i stream off internet onto my roku t.v. it's called text twist. it gives you 6 letters & you try to guess as many as you can timed or untimed but you advance to next level when you use all 6 letters (another part of the game has you using 7 letters). whenever i get bored & have time to kill i go to text twist it keeps my mind busy

I do many different puzzles to keep my brain active, and my favorite by far is Puzzle Page. Each day you get 8 or 9 different types of puzzles and you can choose the difficulty. The variety utilizes various skills and just like physical exercise you need more than one to stay fit.
