I am a fan of Matrix Logic puzzles. As a kid, I would skip recess to figure out what kind of ice cream Jimmy would want for dessert.
i’m a very ponctual person…and i have a lot of friends and a boyfriend who are always late….
so these puzzles book would help me to wait at a metro station, a street corner or at school without looking too alone and not occupied :P
My grandma helped me how to make crosswords easier and my mom showed how a sudoku works, I still ask her for the next number if I get frustrated when I can’t figure it out. I like puzzles because it gives me something to do and it makes me feel accomplished when I can finish one by myself. They make long train and bus rides less boring, but in the afternoon and evening all the papers are gone, or the puzzles are already filled in.. So a pretty puzzle book would be great ;)
I’m a huuuuge fan of jigsaw puzzles and sudoku, because they both prove that everything has it’s place…which is true in both the puzzle and in life.
Personally, I love sudoku. I learned it in my middle school math class, and have played it ever since. My friend Matt has a big book of the puzzels, and I always make him rip one out for me. :)
I like puzzles because I am a fidgety lady. I loved to do sudoku puzzles in university classes to keep from drifting off to sleep.
I’m a crossword puzzle junkie. My favorite one is printed in the back of The Enquirer every week. It’s not a celebrity puzzle that’s easy to solve, either, it’s the best one! I’m thinking about getting a tattoo of a crossword puzzle too.
My family LOVES puzzles and word games. I have been playing scrabble with them since like I was 7. I am not horrible at puzzles, but I’m probably the worst out of my family (there’s four of us). So what better way to improve then to practice with cute puzzle books. =) Actually if I did win, I’d probably share the sudoku with my sister because she loves sudoku. She is always doing one, yeah she’s hooked. And my dad, well he has been doing crosswords for as long as I can remember…I know the cover of the crossword puzzles is a little girly for my dad, but I really don’t think he’d care…lol. =) Anyway, so yeah I think it’d be great to have these, and there’s one for each member of my puzzle loving family.
My absolute favorite type of puzzle is the Sudoku. I have never loved a puzzle as much as I love that one and I’m actually not sure why. I think it’s because it just clicked really easily and I could do them quickly whereas with other puzzles I’ll get frustrated and have to stop.
When I was younger I loved putting together cardboard puzzles because I love tiny pieces fitting together to make a whole, the same way that I paint now. I do enjoy crossword puzzles because they challenge me! And I like a challenge.
Actually, what I love about puzzles is how much they bring friends together!
I met some great friends doing crosswords in prep-school! A friend was waiting for the class to start and she notices someone was having a hard time on a crossword! She decided to help and so did I! Then, we started to play together every day and became very good friends!
Then, I once was stuck on an online riddle and then I asked a friend to come home and help me and we spent the whole day doing riddles until we completed all!
It was one of the funniest days! We kept doing things like that ’till there wasn’t online riddles anymore…
I think my favorite kind of riddle is logic…
I feel like I just can’t give up!!
ops! Kind of puzzle!
But, to me, riddle is a puzzle! XD and my favorite kind! (Is riddle fit in logic? I was confused if it was puzzle or logic… x.x’ my english is so messed up sometimes! XDDD)
I like puzzles because it’s a playful way to exercise my brain. I love sudoku but logic puzzles are always the most satisfying.
i love puzzles because i feel so accomplished when i complete one.
wait, is it kind of puzzle? if so, then wordsearch. those are the best.
I found my love for puzzles at the early age of 3 when my mom would sit me down in front of one of those matching puzzles where you match the farm animal to the right space I remember feeling really proud of myself when I would get it right. Now my favourite type of puzzle would definately be Crosswords.
Before I started blogging I did number puzzles to pass the time, usually sudoku or addoku. I’m such a nerd that when the puzzles started to get too easy I began timing myself. Eventually I filled up my book of puzzles that was an inch thick.
These are adorable! I work in a stationery store, and I think I will tell the owner that we should order these!
I read a lot, and I love scrabble (when I find someone obliging), so it makes sense that crosswords are my favorite! I always loved watching my grandma do her crosswords.
I like crosswords. A lovely mix of trivia and spelling. I have horrible spelling so it helps hone those skills while I have fun!
I get super bored at work, so I do sudoku puzzles from the newspaper, and they help me not go crazy. And when I get home, if I have any handy, I put together (500+ pieces) puzzles while watching shows on DVD to relax.
I love puzzles because they are a way to pass the time while engaging your brain. My favorite puzzles are wordfinds and riddles. When I was in elementary school my teacher would give us wordfinds and crosswords to help us learn vocab and those were my favorite assignments because they would only take five minutes!
I love puzzles, specially sudokus because: i can actually fill them, have fun AND (most importantly) I can make one while I’m at class! There’s nothing better than exercicing the mind while the teacher is talking about boring articles of the civil code :P
I have to say that Sudoku puzzles are my absolute favorite puzzles ever and second to that are fill-ins. I love how they can stimulate your mind and at the same time help you pass the time. :D
puzzles rock cause they test my patience!! x)
riddles are the best puzzles of all! I love to wrap my mind and twist the words to be how I want!
I have such fond memories of putting together jigsaw puzzles with my grandfather! All sorts – old ones he had had for decades, and new ones he picked up at the store just for me. It’s a past time I surely miss. Sometimes I help my Granny with her crosswords too :)
How cute are those!!!
I love puzzles for several reasons. For one, I love to exercise my brain! I believe it helps to keep me healthy. :D
Secondly – but most importantly – is that as a little girl, I would do all sorts of puzzles with my parents and grandparents (especially my mother and my grandmother). It was always a lot of fun to spend time with them, and I know that them taking time out for me helped me a great deal in my development! Sadly, my grandmother had a massive stroke approximately two years ago, and the damage that she suffered has ended our “puzzle-dates”. But every time I do one, I think of her.
My favorite puzzles would have to be Sudoku, because working at a terribly boring grocery store was only made bearable by the wonders of Sudoku!
:)
Crossword puzzles definetly
I love to challenge myself, so puzzles are a natural for me! As a vocabulary freak, I’ve always loved word puzzles–crosswords, word searches, word scrambles…you name it! What better way is there to snap out of a rut and exercise your mind at the same time?
I love puzzles because they occupy my brain when nothing else can, and they challenge me. I think they are a great way to train your brain to think in different ways. I love having puzzle books with me when I’m traveling.
I love puzzles because they provide a more productive way to pass time than reading a trashy tabloid!
I really like sudoku, but I SUCK at it and I can only do the super easy ones I find online. Ah well :( I keep practicing!
Love Puzzles! Even since I heard that there are nuns on an island near Greece who live to all sorts of old age but never have any of the common ‘old age’ problems western oldies get like dementia, alzheimers etc – and their big secret?!?! I know you want to know!! It’s doing reading, eating healthy & testing themselves & each other with a huge variety of puzzles!! Yeah!! Bring on an alert & intelligent life!
I love Sudokus and usually I do them when I´m in the bathroom!!! hihihi
Oh these are adorable! I love all manner of puzzles, but i particularly enjoy word games, as I like to pretend I’m a spy deciphering a secret code :)
When I was a kid I used to enjoy making crossword puzzles for my little sister.
I also love sudoko. I like to make my own sometimes…..yes, I’m a nerd!
I love puzzles because I feel like a genius when I solve one.
I’ve never seen these before!
I love mazes…I could play with them for hours. xD It’s just satisfying to finally see the right line from start to finish. xP
I love logic puzzles and brain teasers. and sudoku. I love the feeling I get when I figure out an especially hard puzzle. Some people might think its just a silly puzzle, but I get a real sense of satisfaction. Puzzles are my favourite study break, because I still am using my brain but I am not studying my Stats or History.
I loved puzzles as a kid. Of course, being a teenager is still like being a kid. I could spend hours upon hours figuring out the clues, amusing myself by finding the answer after a time of wonderful deduction. Although I don’t have as much time any more to solve puzzles anymore, whenever I can get my hand on one it consumes all of my attention. I would be ecstatic for the opportunity to be able to solve as many puzzles as these! Just the thought of pouring over these for hours at a time makes me deliriously happy.
I like a good old-fashioned crossword, they’re great for sitting on the train with to stop you from being bored, they help you to learn new words and to keep your brain ticking over because you have to remember words that you wouldn’t normally use in your every-day vocabulary.
They’re also lovely for when you’re at home with a boy, sitting together by the fire completing your puzzle and drinking cups of tea.

My favourite puzzle is sudoku!
I was very slow on the sudoku-craze, which is great as I’ve now made my entire family obsessed!
It’s my favourite past time when I’m travelling, as I never sleep well on planes and buses…and I just love the feeling of completing a puzzle! :)
These are very cute!
I’ve always enjoyed crossword puzzles and word searches, they keep my hands and my mind busy when I might otherwise be bored. They are also great for students to help them learn vocabulary and spelling words!
Lately, however, I’ve been getting into Logic puzzles. And, while I often find myself throwing my hands up in defeat, I’m always tickled when I figure out the answer. :)
I love a good challenge, and it feels SOO good to solve them when I finally do. My favorite type…Hmmm….Logic and, word puzzles, I think.
I love puzzles because they are fun and portable. I can do them on the bus, or like you said in your post, while waiting at the airport. Also, I think someone else said this as well, but completing a puzzle (or even finding a solution to a difficult Sudoku column) is phenomenal.
And these little books are so cute!
I simply adore logic puzzles and puzzles that force me to think in different ways. I get such a buzz out of pushing myself like that!
I love puzzles b/c i can always learn new words in word search or make myself think more when i do the crossword puzzles. there also awesome to kill time. my favorite is word search(even if it takes me like forever to do one)
My favourite puzzles aren’t really puzzles at all. You usually find them in puzzle books though. They’re the things where they give you half the picture and you have to complete the other half. I also love the fact that they only come in little kid books and i get to take out something that sais My First Dinosaurs or I’m A Princess Too!!
i haven’t been to school in years but puzzles are a good way to keep the mind challenged. I have a two-hour commute to work all the way from NJ (NJ transit is so slow)! I’d love a puzzle or two to keep me busy!
I love, love, love puzzles because they make me stretch my mind in a marvelous sort of way. Sudoku is my favorite, I do believe.
My favorutie type would have to be celebrity/movie crosswords, because I can usually get the anwser right. I’m actually a big fan of real pusszles, like 1000 piece puzzels. I like examining all the pieces to find the colours that match.
