Improve the phrase about perplexity

As I grew up, the perplexity that surrounded jigsaw puzzles grew with each foot.

please improve the above phrase
im trying to say that the perplexity that clouded me about jigsaw puzzles grew with age (foot-by-foot)

I don't think you need "with each foot" as it's repetitive against the "i grew up"
As I grew up, the perplexity surrounding jigsaw puzzles only flourished - or something like that :)

Please give some feedback on my essays!

heyy thanks for your reply i will respond to your query as soon as im done with the essay im writing

It grew as you go taller?

With every inch I grew, the perplexity that surrounded of jigsaw puzzles seemed to grow along with me.

This is a tough sentence! I look forward to seeing what you write! :-)

hey thanks

i was actually writing on how the interest in jigsaw puzzles has grown with age but i was trying to sound humorous in order to convey diversity within me

haha

thanks anyway
