Kids and adults both enjoy pencil puzzles ... they're fun, you can take them anywhere, they're quiet and they give your brain a work out.
Some pencil puzzles are strictly intended for solo personal enjoyment while others can be worked with a partner or a team to join in the puzzle solving fun. I prefer the good old-fashioned pencil games worked in a book, newspaper page or printed from my computer, but you can play traditional pencil games on your computer, personal reading device or smart phone, too.
Whatever your preference in puzzles and pencil games, you're sure to find plenty fo fun and free pencil puzzles to tackle at home or on a trip in this pencil puzzles lens.

- My favourite are the Killer Soduko puzzles. The ones with no starting numbers, and the boxes that numbers have to add up to. Once you get the hang of them, they start to seem easier than normal soduko puzzles - you've got more clues.
