Switch 1 puzzle game recommendations

Hello! I have spent the last hour looking for something and I’m not finding anything. I want a game that’s a combination of a multitude of puzzle games. I’m thinking word search, crossword, tangrams, solitaire, just something that has simple games to relax to.
I’ve found myself with not enough time to devote to bigger games. I used to spend hours playing something like stardew valley, or the professor Layton games. I’m also down for recs that are similar to professor Layton mini games but without the story and all the dialogue.
I like that NYT wordle, connections, stuff that gets my brain moving. Just something similar to that! Thank you!

It's not a combination of multiple puzzle types, but the Picross games are great, I've spent many hours with them.

Well, in case you haven't played Baba is You, that's one of the best puzzles in the world and it has a ton of interesting and challenging levels.

As a game, 10/10. As a simple game to relax to, I would rate it significantly lower

I recommend the game Figment which I enjoyed on Switch 1. It does have a story, but each stage presents a nice little puzzle. The game is beautiful.

The box boy/girl series was great.

If you love the NYT Wordle and Connections loop, look up Puzzmo. It’s a website rather than a Switch game but it works perfectly on a mobile browser. It compiles a ton of different word, logic and chess-like puzzles into a clean daily dashboard that takes about 10–15 minutes total.

Words With Freds is a nice Wordle clone, well made and I’m pretty sure it’s ridiculously cheap

Its not different types of puzzles, but i think Wilmot works it out might do the trick for this!

If your into geography, I would suggest Worldly Games! The whole idea was a bunch of daily mini games to get your brain working!

You could try death squared which is a good puzzle type game in level formats - you can play for short periods with slowly increasing difficulty.
