The Most Challenging Puzzles

Lots of gamers are also puzzle people, and right now is a great time to work on those puzzle skills. Some people like simple puzzles to piece together to pass the time while others enjoy super difficult mind-benders that really challenge them.

Many a meme has been shared of salty cats annoyed with having their humans suddenly at home all day long, and as hilarious as they are, they're not wrong--at least, not in my case!
