Hey there so I love word puzzles, I was wondering, what are some good ways to start to solve them, also what are some good online ones? Or that I can print off?

Because I took the trouble to learn how to do Cryptic Crosswords many years ago, I have had literally hundreds of hours of entertainment at very low cost. So I am very pleased that you are showing the same interest.
First of all, there are several kinds of word puzzles. The big newspapers tend to have a choice of them - especially in their weekend editions. My advice is to go to the library and look at the papers, see which kind of puzzle you like, photocopy it, see if you can solve it and then go to the next issue to see what the answers are.
I know that papers are on the web; but it is often difficult to find the right section, and even if you find it, you might have to become a subscriber to get a down-loadable version. It's much too early for you to do that.

I would like to support what Picador has mentioned above. As you wanted an on line site, you could try this one which I found to be good:www.cluemaster.com.
Welcome to the family of (crossword) puzzle solvers - I assume that you would be interested in solving crossword puzzles, though there are other type of word puzzles too.
