× Yes, I did do the puzzles when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I did the puzzles when I was a child.
The phrase 'did do' is redundant; 'did' already indicates past tense, so 'do' should be in base form or omitted. The correct form is 'did the puzzles' or simply 'did puzzles'.
× So in my local newspaper there is every day there is a puzzle called Sudoku.
✓ So in my local newspaper, every day there is a puzzle called Sudoku.
The original sentence has redundant 'there is' twice. The correct structure is to have one 'there is' to indicate existence, followed by the subject. Also, a comma after 'newspaper' improves clarity.
× And there are some other award puzzles but I usually don't prefer I don't like those.
✓ And there are some other word puzzles, but I usually don't prefer them; I don't like those.
The word 'award' is likely a typo for 'word'. Also, 'prefer' is usually followed by an object, so 'prefer them' is correct. The sentence is split for clarity.
× So even in my currently even in my phone I have couple of puzzle games like Sudoku and there is another new one I forgot the name but it is also interesting one.
✓ So currently, even on my phone, I have a couple of puzzle games like Sudoku, and there is another new one whose name I forgot, but it is also an interesting one.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to something on a phone; 'on' is correct. Also, 'a couple of' requires an article 'a'. The sentence is restructured for clarity and grammar.
× And also there is another game in my phone which is matching the colors.
✓ Also, there is another game on my phone which involves matching colors.
Again, 'in my phone' should be 'on my phone'. The phrase is adjusted for natural English usage.
× So whenever I feel bored I spend time in doing those puzzles.
✓ So whenever I feel bored, I spend time doing those puzzles.
The phrase 'spend time in doing' is incorrect; the correct form is 'spend time doing'. Also, a comma after the introductory clause improves readability.
× Maybe that's because English is not my first language, even in my actual my native language I don't like doing those.
✓ Maybe that's because English is not my first language; even in my actual native language, I don't like doing those.
The phrase 'my actual my native language' is redundant; 'my actual native language' or simply 'my native language' is correct. A semicolon separates two related independent clauses.
× Always prefer doing the either numbers puzzle are some kind of color matching like that and I'm very good with numbers.
✓ I always prefer doing either number puzzles or some kind of color matching like that, and I'm very good with numbers.
The sentence lacks a subject; 'I' is needed. 'Numbers puzzle' should be pluralized to 'number puzzles'. 'Are' is incorrect here; 'or' is the correct conjunction. The sentence is restructured for clarity.
× Yeah, I think it's very good for the world people to do puzzles, just a just a way to kill the time for them and I and it won't take much effort.
✓ Yeah, I think it's very good for older people to do puzzles; it's just a way to pass the time for them, and it doesn't take much effort.
'World people' is incorrect; the intended phrase is 'older people'. 'Kill the time' is a nonstandard expression; 'pass the time' is correct. The sentence is restructured for clarity and grammar.
× They can just sit there, relax and do the puzzles is kind of some mental work for them and that's I think that's really good for them.
✓ They can just sit there, relax, and do puzzles, which is a kind of mental work for them, and I think that's really good for them.
The original sentence is a run-on and lacks proper conjunctions and relative pronouns. Adding commas and 'which' clarifies the sentence structure.
