Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× I used to play the the puzzles in my free time.

I used to play puzzles in my free time.

The phrase 'the the puzzles' contains a repeated definite article 'the' which is incorrect. Also, 'puzzles' is plural and does not need 'the' here. Removing the extra 'the' makes the sentence grammatically correct.

There be issue

× You can find it in every phones and download it to play it.

You can find it on every phone and download it to play it.

The phrase 'in every phones' is incorrect because 'phones' is plural and 'in' is not the correct preposition here. The correct preposition is 'on' and the singular form 'phone' fits better with 'every'. So, 'on every phone' is correct.

Present tense issue

× I usually do puzzles when I feel bored because in that time I usually need to freshen up my mind.

I usually do puzzles when I feel bored because at that time I usually need to freshen up my mind.

The phrase 'in that time' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'at' when referring to a specific time. So, 'at that time' is the proper expression.

Singular and plural issue

× Yes, I think it is good for old peoples to do puzzles because old people doesn't usually have much to do in their day-to-day life.

Yes, I think it is good for old people to do puzzles because old people don't usually have much to do in their day-to-day life.

The word 'peoples' is incorrect here; 'people' is already plural and does not take an 's'. Also, 'old people' is plural, so the verb should be 'don't' instead of 'doesn't' to agree in number.

Present tense issue

× So by doing some puzzles or playing some chess or sudoku puzzles helps them use their time and keeps them worked.

So doing some puzzles or playing chess or sudoku helps them use their time and keeps them active.

The original sentence has a subject-verb agreement issue and awkward phrasing. 'Doing some puzzles or playing chess or sudoku' is the subject and should be followed by 'helps' (singular). Also, 'keeps them worked' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'keeps them active' or 'keeps them engaged'.
