Do Word Search Puzzles Help Our Brains? * Improve Memory * Brain Games For Mental Health 

I’ll be 70 this October and I love doing puzzles of any kind, I feel that they do help! You and Big Daddy have a fabulous weekend and Have a blessed Happy Fathers Day Big Daddy! ❤🤗🙏🙏

😮😢 no slipping away!!! NO NO! we love seeing and being with you and Jody!!❤

I love to sew, crochet, make mesh wreaths. Anything that has my hands and mind going.

Love number, word, logic, crossword, dot to dot, etc. puzzles. Have a blessed day.

I just turned 60 and love word and number puzzles (soduku is one of my favorites). I think that they do help keep me sharp. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Kayla. You are such an example of courage, especially for those of us in the chronic illness community. Happy Father's Day to Jody! ❤🙏🏽

I love word puzzles. I actually keep a word search book in my car. I also have games on my phone that I play every day. I love the dot to dot books as well. The bigger the better for me! I have one book that the numbers go to 100 and beyond! I strongly believe that puzzles books, brain games, that kind of thing helps the brain. For example, my mom was born 3 months premature with only a 20% to live and if she did live she would have mental health struggles in life. That was in the 1950's. This year she will turn 74! Every month when her money comes in she buys several puzzle books and goes through them all! Every day for several hours she does the puzzle books. They have helped her so much. Have a great evening and Happy Father's Day to Big Daddy!

I had a great great Granny and and a Granny who both lived to be over 100 and they both did crossword/word searches.... I do them every day!!! HUgs~ Lea

I love your channel and you! I have a cognitive disorder, brain fog, and forget my words too. I can relate to you. I also read with my crocheting, and you have convinced me I need to do puzzles too.

I have ptsd and anxiety depression I have a cookout by number app and I do that helps me de stress

I love word search. They are good for you, takes your mind off things. Thanks for sharing, enjoying your company.

I do word search puzzles every single day! I agree, we need to keep our mind sharp. I dont like and cant figure out sudoku puzzles.

I used to love doing work searches. May have to go back to doing them. Happy Father's Day to Big Daddy!!

I'm a couple of months from turning 70. I do 3 different wordle-type games a day, a solitaire game, and occasionally mah jong. I do think it helps!

Kayla, This is a wonderful video for brain health. I will be getting the Summer Fun Puzzle book. Kathy from Maine

Happy Father's day to Big Daddy. I like doing puzzle games. Keeps my brain active and out of trouble???? I like Sudoku , number puzzles and find a word

A minute in and I have found over half the words! I LOVE word search! ❤❤❤. Happy Father’s Day Big Daddy! ❤

I listen to audiobooks whilst I'm knitting or crocheting. RU-vid has lots of great stories.

Hi Kayla yes I love crocheting I love diamond painting I love doing jigsaw puzzles I love doing crossword puzzles Sudoku is my favorite even coloring I love doing all of that to keep my mind regulated I am 65 so I find myself walking in the other room and saying to myself what am I in here for, yes❤

I love doing puzzle books. I do word searches, sudoku, and fill ins

I’ve always enjoyed word search. I’m 66 and even enjoyed working them as a child.

Hi Hun, I also enjoy word searches , and reading .

I love doing word searches and crossword puzzles. I play solitaire often as well. I feel they help keep my brain active. 😊

I love to read 😊

Ii love doing word search! Whenever my mom and I went to showers and there was a eotd search I was always the first one done, I always hit a prize🤗 my mom would always say how can you do that 😊 I work with numbers every day in my job and can add multiple numbers in my head before my friend gets the answer using a device 🤷🏼‍♀️However, I have noticed I'm not as sharp recently. I'm glad you got puzzle books to help you, we don't want you to start slipping away 🙏🏻 God's blessings to you and Big Daddy 🙏🏻💝 Wishing Big Daddy a wonderful blessed Happy Father's Day 🙏🏻💙🦆 Love you 💝 Wishing you a beautiful blessed Sunday 🙏🏻🤗🥰💖💛🌼🌻

Thank you for sticking to clogging. I enjoy listening to you. You’re quite intelligent & artistic!

Hi Kayla I also love doing word searches I do it every morning while having breakfast it’s like a addiction have a great day ❤❤

I have a chronic cognitive disorder too. You make me want to go get some word and number games!! ❤🙏🙏❤️

Hi Miss Kayla Big Daddy and watchers ❤

Young chap! I’m only 34 (on Monday actually is my birthday) but I feel about 100! I used to love puzzles/word searches etc but since getting ill anything that uses my brain (quizzes/ hard craft projects/ reading more than a couple of paragraphs) makes my pain worse as my pain is in my face so anything that makes the face muscles work makes the pain worse. I have learned for the most part to laugh inwardly not actually laugh as that is agony! And crying my goodness that makes my face hurt but with pmt I can’t stop the tears unfortunately. I am so thankful that I can do my crafting, stops me going crazy!

I love the sudoku puzzles. Even when my brain was young, word puzzles frustrated me. I dont need extra frustration but probably need the brain-er-cise.

My late mother loved doing Sudoku, Crossword, and Cryptogram puzzles for as long as I can remember. She enjoyed Sudoku puzzles the most I think, because she was a bookkeeper/accountant at our local hardware store for more than 40 years.When the business burned up(the old building was struck by lightning during a storm), she went on to being the head bookkeeper/accountant at our town's Nutrition Center, where she worked until the age of 86. She then retired, had lots more free time to keep up her interest in games & puzzles, until a month before her passing in 2016.

Do love puzzle books!! Sudoku is favorite. Hope you have a relaxing weekend

Hi Kayla! I'm 61 and I love brain games! Most days I work the daily crossword puzzle on the computer. I also love word search puzzles! Like you, I look at the puzzle first and see how many words I can find without looking at the list! Puzzles are good for the brain. I'm on a lot of medication as well and as you know, medication can give you brain fog. I pray that these puzzle books will give you the better brain power that you're looking for! Much love my friend! ❤

I love search a word puzzles!

Hello Ms Kayla and Big Daddy! I don't care what anybody says -- puzzles are good exercise for the brain. My favorite has to the the Jumbles, where you need to unscramble words and finish the puzzle with the clues provided. Usually it is a phrase or saying. I also like word searches, finding hidden objects, mazes and regular puzzles. I don't care for crossword but I will tackle Sudoku. I hope you don't feel too poorly after your recent treatments. See you in the next video and Happy Father's Day to Big Daddy!

The word search puzzles are a great start and not as frustrating to learn as some of the others. I do those as well as Sudoku. I also do matching games on my phone. Those have helped me keep my brain active and interested. 🙂

Happy Father's Day Big Daddy

I love word search.

Hi Kayla, I love doing word search and I always look for words before I look at the list. I have a couple of games on my phone as well. I feel like it does help my brain. At 66 I'm trying to keep as many brain cells as possible!

Happy Father’s Day big daddy. Great video Kayla ❤❤ I picked up the word search sudoku for my husband he loves that and coloring like six months ago to grab every now and then to exercise the mind lol.

For me when I was younger word searches helped me learn to spell.😊 So I think they're definitely a helpful thing.

I love doing word search!!!

I would like to start getting word search books again

This is a really good idea! I haven't bought a puzzle book in a long time. I used to love crossword. I'm gonna look for some next time I make it to town. Thanks, Kayla.

I totally understand what if feels like having your cognitive abilities slipping. I struggle to remember words and info I used to know. My youngest son encouraged me to do word searches, puzzles and mahjong, spider solitare, word games etc after a series of TIAs and PTSD and ME/CFS and more my brain is very affected. Brain games r fun and hopefully they r helping my brain. Good on u Mama Kayla for encouraging others to use these brain games. Sudokco is too much for my brain.🤭 Love and prayers 💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏

I do word search every day. It keeps my mind a little more sharper than just sitting and not using my brain anymore since I retired.

Hi, I have loved word search puzzles since I was young - I don’t know if they are good for me but I know i really enjoy them!

Kayla, I enjoy trying the crossword and sudoku in the paper. With mixed results lol Your brain most definitely is not slipping, you're just like the rest of us. I also happen to be of the same opinion as you, I think all of these puzzles are very good to help us keep 'stretching' our brains, and make them work in ways we don't use them on a regular basis every day. Glad you did this video, I bet you'll discover you're very much among company with your subscribers! Good luck with YOUR puzzles!

I do crossword puzzle! And I read a lot.

Hi Kayla, i used to always have the paperback word search next to me. Now I just play different games on my iPad in the evening when Im done knitting or crocheting. 💞🙏💞

Hi Kayla! I love word searches ❤

Morning Miss inspiration.

That has to be the longest dot-to-dot puzzle ever! Lol

Hi Kayla I do crafting with my grandkids, thinking of you, I wantt to learn to knit knit socks and am getting back into my crochet, Kaye xx xx

Mu grandma did word and number search puzzles for years and wad sharp. I do believe it helps keep ur brain busy and smart

I love word search i don't put a line threw the words i circle the words when i find them gonna see if the dollar tree here has word search i live solitaire it's my favorite i play that on Google play for free... Thanks for sharing your video it was fun i love all your videos & no 2 videos a fay of you is not too much i'm always waiting to watch your videos love you ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for your input on these issues. I am quite a bit older than you 78. I have had to get used to a different style of life. I was quite active like you. I have same brain issues as you but as you age white matter in your brain changes. I have multiply issues too. Some of things haven’t been completely diagnosed. Brain fog I have had since in my 40s. At that point fibromyalgia was the cause. Since then other health problems have cropped up. I do crochet,knit, play the piano, word puzzles sometimes. I like the book you showed because it is large print. Need cataracts removed but haven’t been healthy enough yet. I just recently bought coloring book from Ollie’s and colored pencils from target. Thanks to your videos on coloring thought I would try it. Of course you know when you are stressed and frustrated you are more prone to being forgetful. Plus meds can also affect you. Think I will get a brain puzzle book. Thanks for all you do to help others. God Bless you both. Luv Shannon

Hello Kayla and Big daddy Happy Saturday ❤❤😊😊

Hi kayla, I always do wordsearches.have done since I was little. They are addictive, I do the pages I like then go back and do the topics that I wasn't interested in. My brother and I, used to have wordsearch competitions. Lol. I used to win!. But nowadays obviously they are for relaxing ect. Have fun! Mandy uk 🇬🇧 xxx😊

I love doing word search and online I play cards and play Mahjong and spider solitaire.

Yes indeed, I love doing Sudoku. It is very challenging and I do it in spurts every couple of hours throughout the day. Sometimes when I come back to it, I see possibilities that I wasn’t seeing previously. It’s very satisfying to finally finish a hard one. My sister likes crossword puzzles, but I can’t stand them! Too frustrating. I usually get my Sudoku books at Dollar Tree, but will check Ollie’s for more. Thanks for bringing up this important issue. I think it’s definitely beneficial to do these activities. ❤-Brenda

Hey Kayla❤❤❤

I love brain games. I do word searches and crossword puzzles. I don’t understand sudoku.

Its gonna take more than a word search puzzle to help MY brain hahaha😂. Boy am i in trouble lol . Like you i used to be a social butterfly but i dont do much anymore. BAM is sky high. Walmart has them too.

!I do lots of word g as mes on my phone and tablet.also coloring and puzzles I'm in a slump in my crocheting. Its coming up a year since my husband passed. My youngest grandkids spend a lot of time with me on my days off. I work 3 days aweek. Easy job I just love it. Extra money or I'd never make it on my As check.. Jean.

I experience that brain fog I should do some of those things. I play word and brain games on my phone. I'm going to get me some puzzle books and give it a try. Wishing you well

HI Kayla, I love doing word searches. Your not alone when it comes to forgetting. I do that quite often I go in a room and just forget why I went in there. And it is scary because it's been happening more often lately. But not only that it's just forgetting in general. I have to write everything down or I don't remember. My long term memory is pretty good it's my short term memory that's not to good.😂

I have a crossword fill it in type game in my phone, and a couple find it games. There are wordfind books all over the house.

love you ❤❤

I love doing the daily WORDLE, I do bible word search, play different games on my phone Woodoku, solitaire, etc. Im praying it helps my brain! My mom had Alzheimers, that scares the crap it of me, honestly. I'm 63, so it is a worry

Love word search Play mahjong ❤

I often walk into another room and forget why I went there lol. I don't do any puzzle books at the moment but I have done wordsearch before.

Mb here I love word search . Wow I was just talking about the same thing other day

I have done word search before was lot fun did help me think o could look answer im back of book

i got word search puzzles that are in ASL ( sign language). great way to learn signs🤟🏼

I know what you mean about going to a room and wonder why am I here lol 😝 I like to do find a word , and dot to dot , and I like watching your videos 😊 oh and I like doing little puzzles 🧩 ones with about 300 pieces 😅 anyway stay safe and healthy ✌🏼out for now 🙋🏻‍♀️

Next to me in my little craft trolly. Extreme dot-to-dot, Sudoka (a couple), word search (a couple), a sticker book, ultimate picture puzzles where you find the difference. Crochet hooks and notions, diamond art notions, plastic canvas, small knitting project and I think there might be some embroidery. I love crafts and when I get to my new house I'm going to have a craft room where I can scrapbook again. On the floor in front of me. Lots of diamond art pictures to do, two crochet and one knit blanket in the works, yarn for two blankets, a tote with yarn, diamond art cards and Christmas decorations. *laughing* When I was a kid my folks always got me a busy box at Christmas, full of crafty things. I loved it then and I love it now.

I have always liked word search. I would race friends and family they would get mad because i would win. I get pretty quick at it.

Sudoku drives me nuts, but my Mom and I spent hours doing crosswords and word searches!

I get sodoko books from the dollar twenty five store- the kappa brand. Those are easy enough I can usually finish w/o looking at the key. I do them front to back but tear them out as I finish them. They are my before bed or middle of the night activity. Not sure if it really helps my brain. I like that spiral bound book you have. Seems like a nice variety of puzzles and the spiral bound is always a plus for me.

I like to see what words I can find before looking at the list.

I play word yahtzee on my phone and block puzzles. I also use a design app called redecor. I notice I sleep better when I play these games.

I like to get books or magazines of mixed puzzles. I get bored with the same type of puzzle over and over. I like to use brightly colored gel pens, l find them easier to see. They make erasable colored pens, markers, and highlighters as well.

I am working on a book this summer

I’m one of the young ones. I’m 59 July 3.

Good afternoon Kayla. I like crossword puzzles and finding the difference. I use to make party goods for baby showers with the umbrella. Don’t do those anymore. I like that big book Big Daddy picked out. Where did you get it again? Dollar Tree or Ollie’s?

Those with the numbers I could not figure out or understand.

When I traveled all the time with my husband, I did Logic Puzzles. My favorites were from England. Now that I don't travel because my husband is gone, so I play Word Puzzles on my phone and tablet. I also read a lot. BTW, if I wrote an email to Big Daddy and asked you some questions, would he answer me?

Use it or lose it!

I downloaded Tetris on my iPad it challenges my brain ❤

I think one thing we all need is to talk to each other. Sitting in the house alone with no one to talk to not even on the phone is a big part of why my brain is going to mush. We arent meant to not have conversation. Even if we can accept that we all may have different opinions. I mention i tellectual conversations. Not huge college level ones. Not political. Just talk about things and logical opinions and thoughts and discuss them. Even about minor things. Like your favorite color and why. How certain colors make you feel. The bible and scripture memory together with a like minded believer or different minded believer if you can duscuss why you believe like you do and not get angry or offended. Like really dig into some verses and use them to show why you believe this or that. Talk about gardening and favorite stitches. All sorts of things. Favorite everything . Anything upbeat or have a trusted friend to unload to. Im so far out in the woods and have no women to talk to. I need a friend. I love listening to people on youtube. But i need 2 way conversation. No kids. No family to speak of. My hubby doesnt talk much. Sometimes i feel um going to go nuts. Im 61 and i would love a friend from 20 something to 90 something. I sure miss my grabdma. I forget words too. COGNITIVE Kayla, love. I do search the differences pictures. Loved those as a kid in the sunday paper. Used to paint big eyed dolls and realistic ish ladies out of my head before my craft supplies left. Most of them anyway. 😢 wish i could replace them. Love to listen to your voice Kayla. Git my yarn and my husky is blowing her coat . 😮 Now what do i do. One ball of caron fell and looks angora now. I used to love to do a d trade ATCs. And Tangles. They really help you improve your drawing skills. And be creative for your brain. I used to love to cook as a creative thing making up re ipes. Cant stand that long now. We used to travel around but cant now. Im just lonely. I have t shopped in person in years. Its very hard to make friends up here. If i had known that i would not have moved up here. 😢 I hope you arent feeli g too bad this time around, Kayla. Smooch Phoebe for me. Oh i used to feed birds and do bird watching when we had our big house with low windows. Id sit on the floor and identify them here in the pines and write it diwn in a wild bird book i had. Had a half grown bunny i could walk past too. Saw a road runner in our driveway. And even saw a beautiful oriole or some kind of orange bird. And indigo buntings. Talk about beautiful. Black mold attacked us with no ins and they wouldnt cover it so we moved to a tiny aot in our barn. No place to put anything and couldnt bring things from down tgere or the mild would take hold here. That was 2014. Lost lots of photos and art work and supplies. These windows are up high. Id have to go sit outside at 6 am to watch birds but mosquitos would drain me if blood and my cat has become a hunteress. Maybe in winter. I like the cold. These 90 plus days arent for me. Anyway. Ive talked too much. Pardon me for that. Gotta let some out once in a while.

Crocheting and knitting is proven to help to stimulating the brain, but soduko and other brain games supposedly study show they don’t do anything

My husband does crossword puzzles everyday I really don’t know if it helps him 😂😂😂

I like the word search puzzle books. I’ve been doing those for years. I don’t know how much it helps my brain but I enjoy them. I still am forgetful but I’m 73 so I blame that on age and all the medications I take. Lol! 🧶💜🙏🏻
