How is your pup(s) with puzzles? Do they love them or hate them? Are they okay with games but hate real life puzzles?

Feel free to expand on the question as you'd like. I need to get to my training session.

Cassian likes them since a lot of his job is puzzles from how do I fix the thing to decoding and coding to putting the pieces together of what the Empire's doing. I even wrote a fic where Kay was like, you need hobbies and so found Cassian the equivalent of a crossword app so he could be doing puzzles but not working. I think he's good at both word, logic and the kind of spatial understanding that you need to be an engineer and to survive in his work. I see him as someone who's always analyzing and thinking, the main drawback is that he can overthink and ends up anxious since he's aware of all the things that can go wrong.

Quentin, hm, I think he's probably pretty decent at them but they're not something he does for fun. They fit into his world but I don't know, the mysteries Toby deals with are about knowing how the world works at points more than this goes here.

Charles is very good at puzzles in a lot of ways, he's a scientist who likes seeing why something works how it does and he likes understanding why people act how they do. Since yes, he can read their minds but that's not the same as understanding. He feels like he's always learning as people and genetics and everything are complicated, but he likes the challenge.

Sameth loves certain kinds of puzzles, how does it work? why does this spell do this? He loves them and that's what makes him a good Wallmaker.

Will S. wouldn't think of himself as good at puzzles but he is especially spatial ones. I think to be as dangerous a fighter and thief as he is, you need to know how to understand what's going on around you and make a choice.

William, I think hasn't done a lot of puzzles and could be good at them.

Moist loves puzzles, I think in some ways he sees his conning as very much a puzzle. How do I get this from them and get away?

Demeter, I think she's okay at them but doesn't search them out.

Ivan is actually fairly good at them but doesn't think he is since he compares himself to Miles. He takes his time but when we're in his head, there's a clear sense of him wanting to get things in their right places and the best solution.

Tumnus, I don't think he likes them, he likes history and understanding but there isn't that desire to know how it all works that some of my other characters have.

This is a fascinating question. I love crosswords and hidden object games, as well as spatial stuff. One reason I love history and fic writing are those moments of figuring out how does this all fit together? What don't we know?
