There is good research to indicate that mental exercises, like doing word, logic, visual manipulation, or math puzzles, make you smarter and increase how quickly you think. Sudoku is a classic example of a pure logic puzzle (It isn't strictly speaking, a math puzzle; it's a logic puzzle that uses numbers as symbols. Any group of nine unique symbols will work). I can muddle through the easier ones, but for my logic puzzle fix I usually go with minesweeper. Like others here, I like crosswords and other word puzzles, though I'm strictly a medium level player there as well.
