Puzzles
My dad always wanted my siblings and I to read or play games that made us think. He usually had puzzles at his place. Not the ones with several pieces that you have to put together, but wood or metal ones.
I liked one in which the objective was to form specific 3D shapes with different shaped blocks. He had others that I couldn't solve. I don't think I'm smart enough to solve them, but I still like trying. However, my parents are divorced and I haven't been to his house in years.
Yesterday, I solved a puzzle that was given for Christmas to one of my brothers. It took me a bit less than half an hour. My brother was able to solve it first, but it took him the same amount of time as me. Up to now, we are the only ones in the family that were able to solve it. Now I want more puzzles!

Oh, I did! Thank you! I was struggling to find the correct term.

The sentence flows better/is more natural this way
It took me a bit less than half an hour.
My brother was able to solve it first, but it took him the same amount of time as me.
Up to now, we are the only ones in the family that were able towho can solve it.
Up to now, we are the only ones in the family who can solve it.
I think this is more appropriate- short answer because it feels more natural, long answer below:
I think "who can" is better here because from now onward other family members may still solve it (hinted by "up to now")
If you were telling a story about a puzzle a few months or years ago where nobody else was able to solve it and they stopped trying, I think "were able to" would make more sense
Now I want more puzzles!

Great job!
