I struggle with Sudoku but am impressed by those who are good at it.
Mrs R from Afar is terrific at Wordle and had a run of about 180 consecutive days when she solved it within the six goes.
I prefer Blossom, in which you have to create 12 words, as long as possible, using the seven letters of the day. If you get 300 or more points, you are adjudged a "Blossom Boss". https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/blossom-word-game
When it comes to brain health, the following are known to be beneficial (according to AgeUK, puzzles haven't yet been proven to help directly): - Physical exercise - Learning a language - Learning to play a musical instrument.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Ooh, I like Blossom, thanks Rfar. Didn't realise I could reuse the letters at first, so I think 210 for my first go ain't too shabby.
A few months ago I got annoyed that I didn't know how to do them, and like others here had heard of their ability to ward off dementia, so i read up on how to tackle them. Now my reading is in the toilet as I spend every morning on the tube doing the metro's easy and moderate ones. Do actually find they really kick start my brain in the morning. Just about scanning in different directions and elimination. Though I find if I make a mistake, it's basically over, I can't undo it haha
I'm a pub quiz clever-dick, but I just can't do cryptic crosswords. Somehow I can locate any old junk fact instantly if it's in the memory bank, but I can't think round corners.
Cryptic Crosswords take some practice to learn some of the structure of a clue and the tricks used. Often comes down to ability to solve anagrams, some general knowledge and lateral thinking e.g 'flower' can mean a river, 'the main' can mean 'the sea' etc.
Can be mesmerising sometimes until the inspiration clicks in, like seeing the images in a magic picture?
Yes, pub quiz is a regular thing for us too - we need the money!
I have the same thoughts as you, everything is perfect and I am extremely happy. https://wordle-nyt.org/
I started each one in the NYT with the word 'Earth' for a few years until finally, it paid dividends with a first try success. Only done a couple since.
