For adults who want a screen-free puzzle break: six brain games to print, with every answer.
Pick where you'll do them and we'll say which pages to print.
Download our free 5-page PDF: six different brain games for adults, from pattern memory to money sums, with a complete answer key on the last page and no sign-up. It's built around the same six skills as Cognilo, the daily puzzle game we make, so every page trains a different kind of thinking instead of six variations of a word search.

Paper is the better start; an app is the better habit.
Right here: a free 5-page PDF with six kinds of puzzle (pattern memory, number sequences, money and time sums, rotations, a rule-following stream and word puzzles) and a full answer key on page 5. No email or sign-up.
They are a pleasant, screen-free way to concentrate, and they are easy to share across a table. Don't expect them to prevent memory loss; treat them as one enjoyable habit among others.
Each game starts easy and ends harder. Most adults finish the pack in 15 to 25 minutes. Pattern Recall grid 3 and sequence 6 are the usual stumbling blocks.
Yes. They're free to print and copy for personal and group use, such as a senior center session, a waiting room or a family table.
A printout runs out; a daily puzzle game doesn't. Cognilo serves a fresh Daily 5 each day across the same six skills, set to your level, on iPhone or iPad.
The free tier is complete: the Daily 5, all six skills, ratings, the Benchmark and achievements. An optional Pro subscription, monthly or annual, adds Performance Lab modes, weekly and monthly reports and longer rating history.
If you want a big crossword or a full sudoku book, this is a sampler, not a substitute. If you are looking for a memory test, these puzzles aren't one, and neither is Cognilo: its ratings describe how you play its puzzles, not intelligence or health. If memory or thinking changes worry you, talk to a doctor. And for young children, the money sums and word list assume adult reading.
This is general information, not medical advice. Talk to your clinician.
Pick a situation at the top, or try this: next in the sequence 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, ?
29 (add the two numbers before).
One design decision: we put the answers on their own page so you can fold it away. One limitation: a printable can't adapt. Once grid 3 feels easy, it stays easy; that's where a daily game earns its place.
Finished the pack? Tomorrow's five puzzles are already waiting, set to your level. Play free on iPhone with Cognilo.
