Puzzles & Word Games

Having a few Puzzles & Word Games to play when you get a spare moment or two can help you relax and keep your mind sharp.

Word puzzles (crosswords and word search) are a great activity for children to do as they grow and develop their thinking, and behavioural patterns.

They are not only fun, but they help children with reading, comprehension, logic, as well as expanding their vocabulary and general knowledge.

  • There are two types of puzzles: ones that are solved outside the box… and ones where the answers can be wrestled out. These are the ones that always become crazes, like jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, and Sudoku. The thrill is knowing that you’ll get the answer, and then getting it.

    Developed in 1979, Suduko has only recently gained international popularity. Now, Sudoku puzzles may be found in many popular newspapers, as well as online and even on TV in some countries.

    Crossword puzzles have something for everyone. Whether you are a seasoned crossword puzzle lover or just beginning, whether you like celebrity crossword puzzles or health crossword puzzles , whether you like a really big challenge or like a puzzle you are sure to know the answers to - there is a crossword puzzle out there for you.

    The popularity of jigsaw puzzles has waxed and waned since the Depression . But they are still a lot of entertainment for a small price. And if they are addictive - and they are - they are a harmless addiction.

    While there is certainly more to puzzle history than the traditional crossword, this extremely popular word game is worthy of special attention. The crossword evolved from a long line of word games, from the simplest riddle or pun to the cryptic crosswords and acrostics, which delight so many puzzle solvers today. Some of the earliest evidence of crossword-like word play dates from the first century A.D.

    The earliest precursor to the crossword is the word square. A word square consists of a group of words, all equal in length, arranged to form the same words across and down. The first known word square, called the Sator Square, is carved in stone and dates from the first century A.D. in Pompeii.

    Mathematical puzzles abound in history and literature, having been used as trials, intelligence tests, and amusements. Many fields of mathematics began with such puzzles. Word games involve manipulation of the basic units of language for amusement or, in the case of puns, to drive your friends batty. They challenge the imagination and can increase a player's general knowledge and vocabulary. Some word games are simple enough for preschool children while others are extremely complex. Word games and word-association techniques are often used by educators.
