Crosswords and aging

Crosswords and other puzzles work as anti-aging brain maintenance because they keep neural pathways activated in unpredictable ways—you're searching memory, making lateral connections, tolerating the frustration of not-knowing. Whether they actually delay decline is debatable, but the daily practice of showing up to something moderately difficult that has a satisfying answer definitely matters.
