Improved Focus and Attention

A puzzle helps stimulate brain thinking and memory, as well as brain activity. Thus, working puzzles can increase mental stimulation. The brain is resilient and malleable, so people can slow down the progression of dementia and increase their cognitive ability by stimulating brain activity. One way is to do so is to work word puzzles because they involve hunting and comparing words, spelling, the logic of space and placement, and rational thinking.
Improved Memory
Word puzzles have been proven to stimulate memory. When the puzzle solver tries a possible solution and it does not work, they need to remember the wrong attempt so that they do not retry a wrong answer.
