Beginners' series
The first encounter with a new type of puzzle can be quite frustrating. No need to be worried, this even happens to experts - but they have more experience getting beyond this point. Beginners may often be intimidated, and to help them get familiar with certain puzzle types the puzzle portal contains some beginners' series for different puzzle types. These series are listed below.
Another hint: it is also normal that different people have difficulties with different puzzles - or with explanations by different people. If you really can't get a grip on some type of puzzle you may want to try some other type.
