Why a Word Search Puzzle?
I'll never create a video game based on the characters of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but thanks to some free software I was able to produce a trio of word search puzzles. The nice thing about these puzzles is that they can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime. No tech is required. Word search games are so versatile that people can enjoy at any age after learning the alphabet. Some joke that these puzzles are good for ages 5-105.
Why Word Search Puzzles are good for you?
Several studies have shown that word search puzzles and other types of puzzles are tremendously beneficial for developing and improving our brains. It helps to improve memory, focus, vocabulary, and overall mental agility. (We can all use help in this arena.) Word search puzzles prioritize pattern recognition, a vital cognitive tool that empowers the brain with the ability to establish a structure and create value from the information around us. Also, word puzzles can increase the dopamine levels in our brain from the challenges and the sense of encouragement it stimulates inside us. It can boost confidence levels, bring people together, and increase enjoyment in any environment.

Disclaimer: To develop these puzzles I used a number of websites that list characters, creatures, and places featured in Burroughs novels. I did my best to double-check their accuracy but some mistakes may have slipped through. I apologize if this creates any emotional distress.
