What Type Puzzles Do You Like?

Tweet

Many people like brain teasers. To me, puzzles are great brain teasers. My late sister loved to put together the traditional jigsaw picture puzzles. 1000 pieces. 1500 pieces. 2000 pieces. The more the puzzle pieces, the better she liked it. I have a son who likes the Sudoku puzzles. I tend to like solving word puzzles. It seems like a bazillion people loved the Rubik's Cube. What I like about puzzles is they can be good old-fashioned family fun. They can be good if you want a solitary loner game. They can be great for contests and competitions. FUN FACT: "The word puzzle comes from pusle, meaning "bewilder, confound", which is a frequentative of the obsolete verb pose (from Medieval French aposer) in the sense of "perplex". The use of the word to mean "a toy contrived to test one's ingenuity" is relatively recent (within mid-19th century). " (Wikipedia) Do you like puzzles? What is you favorite type of puzzle? * * * P.S. Learned a new word while writing up this discussion. "Frequentative". Never heard that word before. Never used that word before. I doubt if I'll ever have a reason to use it. But it's good to know!
