Women are The Real Puzzle Fanatics

Women were four times more likely than men to admit to being compulsive puzzle players obsessed only with winning, the study found. On the other hand, more men than women said their motivation for completing puzzles was to keep themselves intellectually sharp.

The study questioned 598 people, with equal numbers of men and women, on their puzzle habits. Most (41 per cent) described themselves as ‘Challenger’ players who completed puzzles to keep themselves mentally active and exercise their brains.
