SAMPLE ANSWER
Well, solving puzzles is one of the best mental exercises and people of all ages should be in the habit of playing puzzle games.
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about my favourite puzzle Sudoku which I started playing when I was hardly 10 years old. As the name suggests this game has its origin in Japan and it is extremely popular among people of all ages.
I vividly remember my father introduced me to this game. It is a wonderful mental exercise that stimulates cognitive growth.
My father taught me how to solve this puzzle in which there are 9×9 grids and each column must contain 1 to 9 digits without being repeated and he challenged me to solve it. It seemed quite easy and more like child’s play so I accepted the challenge but soon I realized it’s not that easy.
Eventually, I solved the puzzle in 1 hour. In those days It used to appear in every Saturday newspaper and I used to solve it with great enthusiasm to see my interest developing my father bought me a Sudoku puzzle book with hundreds of puzzles that my sister and I used to solve every evening.
This game forced us to use our brain more and more and unlike other puzzles, a person never gets bored of playing this game. In fact, even today I play Sudoku regularly. I have downloaded an application on my smartphone and it has various difficulty levels. I can even compete and win from other players online by solving the puzzles least number of moves.
I highly recommend those who have never played Sudoku to try it once and you will realize how interesting it can be a free time activity that keeps us mentally active and fit.

Why do parents let their children play puzzles?
Parents allow their children to spend their time playing puzzle games because these games help children to develop their analytical skills. Moreover, puzzle games help children to think beyond the conventional domain and develop their brainpower too. Apart from this, their concentration level improves. Lastly, by playing puzzles and winning them they get into a state of flow and foster their willpower too.
Which age group plays Puzzles the most?
Playing puzzle games is a time-consuming process. There is no denying this conviction that youngsters and middle age people remain too much engrossed in their routine, and, they do not have much time to play these games. Therefore children and elderly people play these games the most.
