× In my younger years, we don't usually play puzzles.

✓ In my younger years, we didn't usually play puzzles.

The sentence refers to a past time ('younger years'), so the verb tense should be past simple ('didn't') instead of present simple ('don't').

× We often times do. Playhouse says.

✓ We often played with Playhouse sets.

The original sentence is fragmented and unclear. 'Playhouse says' is incorrect and likely a mishearing or typo. The corrected sentence clarifies the intended meaning and uses proper sentence structure.

× I usually do puzzles when I feel bored and some free time because they have stimulate my cognitive skills and improve my problem solving abilities.

✓ I usually do puzzles when I feel bored and have some free time because they stimulate my cognitive skills and improve my problem-solving abilities.

The phrase 'have stimulate' is incorrect; it should be 'stimulate' as the verb agreeing with 'they'. Also, 'some free time' needs a verb 'have' before it. The sentence is corrected to proper present tense and subject-verb agreement.

× But for example jering quiet evenings.

✓ For example, during quiet evenings.

The original sentence is incomplete and contains a typo ('jering'). The correction provides a proper phrase that fits the context.

× How and I do have difficulties in terms of numbers.

✓ However, I do have difficulties with numbers.

'How and' is incorrect; the intended word is likely 'However'. Also, 'in terms of numbers' is better expressed as 'with numbers'. The correction improves clarity and grammar.

× I think doing puzzles will help them retain their abilities, their vocabularies, as well as stimulate their brains.

✓ I think doing puzzles will help them retain their abilities and their vocabulary, as well as stimulate their brains.

'Vocabularies' is usually uncountable and should be 'vocabulary'. Also, 'as well as' connects verbs here, so 'stimulate' should be parallel with 'help'. The correction improves noun usage and parallel structure.
