Puzzles Pages
Apart from the obvious negative aspect of getting addicted to them to such an extent that you start neglecting the rest of your life, puzzles keep your brain active and sharp.
On this site, you will find a number of different puzzles that are produced freshly, every day and are free for you to print out and solve. A number of them have PDF pages with selections of current puzzles on them to make it easier.
Also, there are a number of books for sale including some Amazon best sellers for a number of different types of puzzle so whether you want a book for yourself or someone you know, whether it is a holiday, birthday or when you have nothing to do, I have a book that you can buy directly from Amazon. See the books pages on this site.
