× I used to play with different kind of puzzles in my daily life.

✓ I used to play with different kinds of puzzles in my daily life.

The phrase 'different kind of puzzles' is incorrect because 'kind' should be pluralized to 'kinds' when referring to multiple types. Also, 'kinds of' is the correct collocation when talking about various categories or types of something.

× I got many puzzles, but I stopped after growing up.

✓ I got many puzzles, but I stopped after growing up.

No correction needed here for singular/plural issue.

× I don't play it because I'm bored, but I played with them to have a quality time with my kids.

✓ I don't play them because I'm bored, but I play with them to have quality time with my kids.

The pronoun 'it' is incorrect because 'puzzles' is plural, so 'them' should be used. Also, the tense should be consistent; 'played' should be 'play' to match the present context. 'A quality time' is incorrect; 'quality time' is an uncountable noun and does not need an article.

× In the past I used to do word puzzles and number bases.

✓ In the past I used to do word puzzles and number puzzles.

The phrase 'number bases' is incorrect; it should be 'number puzzles' to match the context of puzzle types. 'Bases' is unrelated here.

× Nowadays I don't do any more puzzles, only with my kids and they are suitable bustles for their age.

✓ Nowadays I don't do any more puzzles, only with my kids and they are suitable puzzles for their age.

The word 'bustles' is incorrect and likely a typo; it should be 'puzzles' to make sense in context.

× It's protect it to protect their brain from degenerative disease like Alzheimer's.

✓ It helps to protect their brain from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. 'It's protect it' is incorrect. The corrected sentence uses 'helps to protect' which is appropriate. Also, 'disease' should be plural 'diseases' when referring to degenerative diseases in general.
