The data that except in the store function does not go to the db - laravel

Question

i'm learning laravel.
I have to do a simple store function to create a new post. The form appears to work correctly but the data does not reach the DB.
There's my store function:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate($this->validationRules);
$formData = $request->all();
$puzzle = new Puzzle();
$puzzle->fill($formData);
$puzzle->save();
// $newPuzzle = Puzzle::create($formData);
// return redirect()->route('puzzles.show', $newPuzzle->id);
}
My model:
class Puzzle extends Model
{
public $timestamps = false;
protected $fillable = [
'title',
'pieces',
'image',
'description',
'brand',
'price',
'available',
'quantity',
];
}
My form:
<form method="POST" action="{{route('puzzles.store')}}">
#csrf
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="title" class="form-label">Title</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="title" name="title" value="{{ old('title') }}">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="pieces" class="form-label">Pieces</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control" id="pieces" name="pieces" value="{{ old('pieces')}}">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="description" class="form-label">Description</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="description" name="description" value="{{ old('description')}}">
</div>
<div class="mb-3 form-check">
<label class="form-check-label" for="available">Available</label>
<input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" id="available" name="available" checked>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<label for="quantity" class="form-label">Quantity</label>
<input type="number" min="1" step="any" class="form-control" id="quantity" name="quantity">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<label for="price" class="form-label">Price</label>
<input type="number" min="3.0" step="0.1" class="form-control" id="price" name="price">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
what am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Make changes in your store function as per below
public function store(Request $request)
{
$validated = $request->validate([
'title' => 'min:5|max:250',
'pieces' => 'numeric',
'description' => 'min:5|max:500',
'price' => 'numeric',
'available' => 'boolean',
'quantity' => 'numeric',
]);
$puzzle = Puzzle::create($request->only(
'title', 'pieces', 'description', 'available', 'quantity', 'price'
));
return redirect()->route('puzzles.show', $puzzle->id);
}
in .env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_databse_name
DB_USERNAME=your_databse_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=your_databse_password
