By Ashly Moore Sheldon • January 26, 2023

Riddle: What has words, but doesn't speak?
Answer: A book

January is National Puzzle Month and January 29, National Puzzle Day. To celebrate, we have curated a list of jigsaw puzzles, crossword collections, and activity books for every type of puzzler. These types of mental challenges are a great way to exercise our brains and keep them strong. We love that puzzles are something we can do on our own or in a group. Hopefully there's something here that appeals to your puzzling interests.

Puzzle books are a great way to keep kids occupied during long trips or quiet times. They can also be helpful for kids with ADHD or, really, for any kids who just need to calm down, refocus, and regroup. Here are some we like.
