Many people do crosswords and puzzles just for fun and to occupy the
odd bit of time, especially when waiting or travelling.

But for
others, this is a serious activity, which can even involve
competitions. Here there is some overlap with playing
cards and other indoor games.
-
There is a very wide range
of puzzle types that you can do, ranging from the traditional
newspaper based crosswords and other word games, to mathematical and
picture based puzzles.
