A puzzle is a game, problem, or toy that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct solution of the puzzle. There are different genres of puzzles, such as crossword puzzles, word-search puzzles, number puzzles, or logic puzzles.

Puzzles are often created to be a form of entertainment but they can also arise from serious mathematical or logistical problems. In such cases, their solution may be a significant contribution to mathematical research.

Etymology

The 1989 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary dates the word puzzle (as a verb) to the end of the 16th century. Its first documented use (to describe a new type of game) was in a book titled The Voyage of Robert Dudley...to the West Indies, 1594–95, narrated by Capt. Wyatt, by himself, and by Abram Kendall, master (published circa 1595). The word later came to be used as a noun.

The word puzzle comes from pusle, meaning "bewilder, confound", which is a frequentive of the obsolete verb pose (from Medieval French aposer) in the sense of "perplex". The use of the word to mean "a toy contrived to test one's ingenuity" is relatively recent (within mid-19th century).

Genres

Puzzles can be divided into categories. For example, a maze is a type of tour puzzle. Some other categories are construction puzzles, stick puzzles, tiling puzzles, transport puzzles, disentanglement puzzles, lock puzzles, folding puzzles, combination puzzles, and mechanical puzzles.

• A chess problem is a puzzle that uses chess pieces on a chess board. Examples are the knight's tour and the eight queens puzzle.
• Jigsaw puzzles.
• Lateral thinking puzzles, also called "situation puzzles"
• Mathematical puzzles include the missing square puzzle and many impossible puzzles — puzzles which have no solution, such as the Seven Bridges of Königsberg, the three cups problem, and three utilities problem
• Mechanical puzzles such as the Rubik's Cube and Soma cube
• Metapuzzles are puzzles which unite elements of other puzzles.
• Paper-and-pencil puzzles such as Uncle Art's Funland, connect the dots, and nonograms
  • Also the logic puzzles published by Nikoli: Sudoku, Slitherlink, Kakuro, Fillomino, Hashiwokakero, Heyawake, Hitori, Light Up, Masyu, Number Link, Nurikabe, Ripple Effect, Shikaku, and Kuromasu.
    
• Peg solitaire
• A puzzle box is a puzzle that can be used to hide something — jewelry, for instance.
• Rubik's Cube and other combination puzzles can be stimulating toys for children or recreational activities for adults.
• Sangaku (Japanese temple tablets with geometry puzzles)
• Sliding puzzles (also called sliding tile puzzles) such as the 15 Puzzle. Puzz-3D is a three-dimensional variant of this type.
• Sokoban
• Spot the difference
• Tangram
• Word puzzles, including anagrams, ciphers, crossword puzzles, Hangman (game), and word search puzzles. Tabletop and digital word puzzles include Bananagrams, Boggle, Bonza, Dabble, Letterpress (video game), Perquackey, Puzzlage, Quiddler, Ruzzle, Scrabble, Upwords, WordSpot, and Words with Friends. Wheel of Fortune (U.S. game show)is a game show centered on a word puzzle.

Hello to everyone,

First of all, I want to thank you for your participation in and contribution to  ...

I think thanks and appreciation are owed to you, mircteryx bro, and to the Administrator, Super Mod and their team for bringing this interesting competition on the table. Competition is always good, as long as it is healthy. It makes one strive to be better. I guess others will agree that the mental calisthenics and hunting for the right answers has made all of us a bit more mentally agile. Looking forward to the new activity of TWS as indicated by you.
