I want to get good at puzzles. What is a good resource I can find to expose myself to a wide variety of puzzles (number puzzles, word puzzles, logic puzzles, etc)?

Try mystery caches on geocaching.com. They range from simple Caesar ciphers to diabolical math/engineering puzzles.

You should be able to solve this

I'm currently going through Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzles on my computer and phone.
Some are easier and some are harder. None of them are word puzzles though, and eventually you figure out highly effective lemmas that turn it into a rather mechanical process.
I quite like Signpost, Keen and Galaxies at the moment.
Unsolicited but also consider dual n-back for mild improvement.

The abbreviated rules for the balls and light puzzle were driving me up the wall, I had no idea AT ALL how the hell it was supposed to work based on those

Recently found a geocache. I wasn't looking for it, I just found an ammo box in the middle of the woods. It was immednsely satisfying

Logic Masters Germany: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/
New York Times puzzles (not just crosswords, requires subscription for all features): https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords

I'd also recommend the YT channel Cracking the Cryptic, where the hosts solve the cryptic crossword and a variety of sudoku puzzles, alongside occasionally playing popular puzzle games. This will expose you to some puzzles of course, but more to the point they can teach you some tips, tricks, and ways of thinking that will help you. https://www.youtube.com/c/CrackingTheCryptic
