Hello to all you puzzle nerds!
Stuck on a train and got a puzzle book, yup I’m that person (super cool?   ) but my question is do you have a preference of number puzzles like sudoku or work puzzles like crosswords?
My granny used to always do crosswords and I once asked her about sudokus and she damn near looked at me in horror! Her reasoning was that numbers were not her thing but I weirdly find it easier as I know there must be a logical answer whereas crosswords I overthink and I hate that it ends up being such a riddle sometimes!
So, do you do puzzles? And what is your preference?
Sometimes I have more interesting chat that this….that is quite rare though  |

Number puzzles are my preference. I don't do them often, but completing a sudoku or kakuro is very satisfying.
I did used to help my dad with crosswords. Well, as helpful as any child is. He used to explain how he did the cryptic ones and I just couldn't follow it. He used to hone his skill on them during slow night shifts.
I do like wordle and quordle right now. It whiles away a good 10 minutes every day  |

"I like quizzes and wordy things rather than number stuff. I actually work in finance but I’m rubbish with numbers  "
Hehe I wish I were smart enough for that….doing a pub quiz I’m lucky if I get 2 answers  |

I don’t even know what kakuro is! I’ll will need to investigate! Hmmm did he have a system for crosswords? I’ve heard of people being able to do that and it frazzles me! I used to do wordle but I got out the habit! Maybe I’ll have to start them again |

For some reason despite being good at maths, I've never liked sudoku.
On a train then it would be a crossword, I used to read the dictionary as a child!
I'm also a Boggle fan :D |

"I love a sudoko but the satisfaction of competing a cryptic crossword, pure internal smugness
Maybe that should be on my bucket list! do you just walk about feeling like king of the world? "
Walk? I'm floating on a cloud! |

"Word puzzles generally, then I can get easy satisfaction for having a douchy lexicon.
Heheh your vocabulary I can only dream of Meli I’ll do numbers, you can do fancy words "
That's a perfect deal, let's do it.

"I haven't got enough brain cells for word or number puzzles but I'm pretty good at jigsaws"
Ooooooo yes! Jigsaw’s are actually so much fun! I need to frame a couple of ones I’ve completed as I love them too much to just rip up and put in a box again  |
