I'm good with crossword puzzles. Never tried sudoku. I'm good with Mahh jongg, but that may not be a puzzle.

There are days when I can look at a puzzle and immediately solve it, and days when it is very difficult to make any sense of puzzles at all.

I am awful with visual puzzles, but I do some of them, because I feel they help me to improve. I actually have Non-verbal Learning Disorder, which means I have incredible difficulty with spatial and abstract things. If it's a math puzzle then I might try, but I just end up itching all over and crying, so no to those.

I'm good with jigsaw puzzles and three dimensional puzzles, but not very good with word or number puzzles.

I like puzzles. My two favorite types are Jigsaw and Crosswords. While crosswords are disposable, I have finished Jigsaw puzzles that are beginning to pile up. (I glue them as soon as I finish them.) The last Jigsaw puzzle I did was a 1,000 piece one. I finished it in two days. Crosswords on the other hand are a little harder because sometimes I have to ask for help on answers.
