I've seen a lot of advice suggesting that beginners in programming should focus on improving their problem-solving skills. I'm really interested in this, but I'm confused about where to begin. What type of problems should I be tackling? Should I focus on mathematical word problems, riddles, or something else? Also, are there any good free or affordable resources available to help me develop these skills specifically related to programming? Thanks for your help!

A great way to develop your problem-solving skills is to start a project of your own! Consider building something fun like a bot that scrapes Reddit for dad jokes, or an app that tracks food in your fridge and suggests recipes. Every project will bring its own challenges, forcing you to come up with your own solutions. Just dive into it and have fun!
That makes sense! It sounds like a hands-on approach where problems arise naturally. I guess following pre-made guides could limit the challenge. Going for real-world problems seems like a solid plan!
