Why Printable Puzzles?

Printable puzzles offer several advantages

Solving puzzles on paper has advantages over screens. There's no battery to die, no notifications to distract you, and research suggests we sometimes think differently when writing by hand.

Plus, you can solve them anywhere: on a plane, in a waiting room, or at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee.

Puzzles offer genuine mental exercise. They won't make you a genius, but they do engage logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and sustained attention in ways that passive entertainment doesn't. And they're satisfying to complete.
