Do you like jigsaw puzzles or other types?

Not everyone likes doing puzzles that's for sure. Puzzles were always a good thing to do during winters. Some window customers I have keep s puzzle out all the time and I will sit and put a few pieces in when I'm there. I don't know that the rest of my siblings ever enjoyed them or not

@MarshaMusselman Most of the time I like to spend my free time researching stocks, looking for new ways to manage and earn money, and of course I spend a little time here as well...when I am not otherwise fiddling with my guitars.

I don't know that I know what those are. Are there words with letters left out where there are many choices? Does it looking similar to a crossword?

@MarshaMusselman No they are like crossword puzzles. I will take a picture and share it so you can see what they look like. Sorry about the picture being sideways it keeps turning that way on me but when I took the picture it was fine

@MarshaMusselman They are really easy and fun. They give you are starter word and you work off it all the way til you finish the whole puzzle.

I enjoy shapes and committee more than scenery but I will do those too. Doing them on my computer is a lot easier than the phone. I may end up deleting the app. On the phone some pieces won't missed work my finger when I want which is annoying and it's such a little space. I just realized I could try them on my tablet which I'm not using at present and maybe it would be easier on that. I can choose how many pieces and have been opting for larger pieces to see them better but with my desktop I've done smaller pieces before.

@MarshaMusselman I fancy trying jigsaws with photos of travel destinations. I adore maps of the world. I might try an on-line geography jigsaw. Your phone is probably small compared to your computer. Yes, try using your tablet and see how you get on. I would choose larger pieces.

@MarshaMusselman I used to be a bit obsessed with crossword puzzles I did them constantly in my free time. I hardly ever do them now since I spend my free time on mylot or reading. When I was doing crosswords a lot a friend of mine showed me fill-in. I had a few books of them but they are too easy and boring for me. Pencils are always better to use in case you make a mistake you can erase it. But I always use a pen

@shaggin I've done some of the harder fill it in's and they are hard. It didn't take me long to discover what made them harder. There are more choices than I sometimes want for each number of letters and where the specific letters fall. The one's I found online let you delete whole words if you later find you put the wrong choices into the box.

Hmm, I enjoy a sudoku puzzle that is only available that I've ever seen in one weekly paper. Maybe I can find it, because my explanation will still have you wondering. But, basically there are five sudoku puzzles that intersect in the corners. I can usually get the corners fine, but I can't always to the whole puzzle, but I still like to try. I used to use an electronic, hand held sudoko thing that worked fairly well. I've also found that a pencil works better with sudoko than a pen which is my normal way. And I will make notations in the corners of the boxes of what numbers it could be and then fill it in when I know for sure. But, not every type of puzzle is for everyone. Another member shared with me about what's called fill-it-ins and I've since writing this tried online versions of that and you may be able to manage that one. I put a picture of two kinds I found, I put it under Tina's response if you want to see what they look like. The page resembles a crossword puzzle but instead of clues you have a list of words similar to a word search puzzle. The trick is figuring out which word goes where that will intersect with the next word that fits. If you begin with the easy ones and even normal for the pictured one in blue it gets you started. The hard one is hard but managable.

@MarshaMusselman I don't have any of them at moment. I throw them away when I have finished them. I would like buy more of them, the ones with the letters are fun and challenging as well. I have to use logic and elimimination. I think that there might be an easier way to solve them, I just haven't found it yet.

If you have a smartphone or cameras you can take a pic of it and upload it here. If you want

If you need to develop your patience you can do some every day. One piece a day or something like that. I don't like all types of puzzles and many are out of my realm

@dya80dya You can set a timer for say five minutes at a time and even if you begin with the smaller children's puzzles that's not a bad thing. We have some for kids around 7-10 that are between 100-300 pieces. Even doing those will get you started. Or if you do facebook, you can download the facebook gameroom on your computer or do it right on your main facebook page. I use jigsaw world and have for ten years or more and I just started using Just Jigsaws, but you wouldn't want to do those until you've practiced for a year or more because they are a bit harder. Although, if you did try them, you could make the number of pieces less so they are larger pieces. There are many other ones on facebook and probably on the internet too, but those are the two I do. Jigsaw world has competitions and I never will get as fast as those that win those. I honestly think they use some type of program that helps them do them faster as I don't see how it can be done much faster than what I can manage. For the competitions there is no picture to look at and see what the full image is, so that makes it even more difficult. But I enjoy them. If you try any of those, you can friend me on facebook and then see some of the puzzles I do, that only works on jigsaw worlds though. And I don't share any on my facebook page.

@MarshaMusselman And I enjoy doing puzzles. I will try to develop patience. I hope I can.

I have one made for any or most ages to work on together. It's Jack in the beanstalk and the bottom pieces are adult sizes and the top for toddlers or maybe preschool. The rest gradually go larger or smaller depending on the direction.

I like looking for what's different too. We sell bookings like that at the checkout areas so sometimes I like through those.

I agree and they help us stave off mental problems as we age, although you have a long way to go before that might be a problem.
