This is to help exercise my brain post stroke.  Usually I can get 5 of the solutions.

A challenging game, whether it's the online or 'real world' version.  Playing with a group 'live' often means dead silence from the players, with a sudden "OH! OH!  Oh, never mind!" thrown in. 😁

Doing crosswords etc. can keep your mind sharper to a later age. My mother loved doing jigsaw puzzles, word searches, and crosswords until around age 90. Even for a year or so after dementia started being noticed, I would  read her the clues and she would answer  with some prompting.  When we sold the house, we had to give away 95 jigsaw puzzles! She had us put them up in the attic  when finished with hem (counted them!).

I used to buy my mother word finds for mother bring at least two of them each trip visiting her and sometimes I bring her paint by number ones as well.

Chess is excellent for the brain.  They hook up sensors to Kasparov during matches.  They found he burned more calories calculating chess moves in tournament, then a marathon runner.  The vast majority of calories are consumed by the brain.

Conceptis 'Sea Battle' puzzle is an excellent app.  If your rehab includes logic puzzles, there's a new free problem weekly to solve.
