The Challenges of Crosswords and Puzzles

What appears to be happening in crosswords and puzzles is that you are rehearsing the same circuits in the brain over and over and over. But we also know that you can train the brain to retain higher numbers of these new cells every year of our life. And I recently advised the Daily Telegraph, which is the best-selling broadsheet newspaper in Britain about their games page. They reckon they compete against the New York Times quizzes. So all those people out there who want an activity that is definitely going to improve their brain health, you should learn to dance with a non-English speaking partner if you can do that.
