1. Puzzles Exercise Both Sides of Your Brain
The left side of your brain controls analytic and logical thinking and the right-side controls creativity. When you are working on puzzles, you are engaging both sides and giving your brain a real mental workout.
2. They Improve Your Memory
Working on puzzles reinforce the connections between our brain cells – and form new ones – so they are a great way to improve short-term memory.
3. They Improve Your Problem-Solving Skills
The ability to solve problems and think critically is useful in almost any life situation and puzzles help us develop these skills. Since puzzles require us to take different approaches to solve them, we learn how to work by trial and error, formulate and test theories, and how to change tracks if not successful according to USA Today.
4. They Improve Reasoning Skills
If done regularly, according to USA Today, this will improve your reasoning skills.
5. They can Improve IQ Score
Since puzzles can improve our memory, concentration, vocabulary, and reasoning skills it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that they also raise our IQs.
