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 love to do online jigsaw puzzles and I recently started to play Match 3D. The game is in the app store and tests your ability to match objects, while time is running down. It's pretty addictive.

      Crossword puzzles and the recognition of patterns (the advanced is really hard).

        I like to do Logic Puzzles, to stimulate the "little grey cells" as the famous detective loves to say.

          "One minute mysteries" type books where you're presented with a crime and the evidence from which you have to deduce who did it.

            Scramble Words didn't award Reward points today for completion. Anyone else having this issue?

            Same today, but I did a "chat" session, and the missing 300 points were added as an adjustment. Thank you AARP!

            I really hate the long crossword puzzles And I prefer the shorter ones. It takes way too long to do a normal size crossword puzzle and the points don’t match up. So I skipped those. Make them shorter please
