Free puzzles and games!

Yes, I've heard of this, but I stink at Suduko and jigsaw puzzles. I like to do crossword puzzles and cryptograms!!

Thank you for the info. I think it's very important to work as much of our brain as we can. If you don't use it, you lose it.

I've always done word puzzles. I like almost every kind, even cryptogram puzzles. Don't care for Sudoku though. I think it's important to keep the brain busy and challenged, and I do think it's a 'use it, or lose it' type thing for keeping recall active. I like the New York Times crossword on Sundays, and to all my friends horror, I prefer to do all my puzzles in ink. Doing it in ink you have to make sure your answer is correct, and besides, I have trouble seeing things written in pencil lol.

its very nice of you. tahnks a lot. i like to soleve sudoku and jigsaw puzzles. you can also find jigsaw puzzles in tyahoo games, bigfishgames and various game sites also.thanks a lot again. I will definitely try this.

Thanks for the link! I always like places to find free mind stimulating puzzles. I don't get to them everyday with 3 small children, but I do appreciate them.

thank you for the information as well as the website. I really enjoy doing the cryptic puzzles which were in the daily paper at my mom's house - we do not get a paper here (other than a once a week little flyer type paper)

I play here on the computer and play other games online like scrabble etc but I don`t do sudoku cause I can`t see what Im looking at ... Thankx for the link i`ll check this one out

Thanks for the link. I have been challenging myself with puzzles and other word games. It keeps your mind sharp.

Interesting link. I do try to learn new things daily, but do not do too many puzzles. I do find myself trying to solve third grade math problems. I also puzzle myself trying to learn new ways to teach the kiddos stuff. I do the third grade level word finds etc.I hope I do not nd up with dementia.

I actually wrote an article about this on Triond. I love word puzzles. Online I play Text Twist, Word Drop and Bookworm. When Sudoku first came out I was so addicted to it I phoned my father every day to get him to read the numbers to me. Now I just stick with the one on Saturday, three on Sunday in the Toronto Star Newspaper. I find it hard to do them on the computer because I like to note all the possibilities with pencil. My father was so big on Jumble that when I was living at home it became a competition between us to see who could come up with the word first. I don't know whether the puzzles have gotten easier or I've gotten smarter but I can do a Jumble puzzle in under a minute sometimes. No more than five minutes. I only get the two weekend papers but I get so far behind because I have to do all the Sudoku puzzles, the Wordsearch, three crossword puzzles, one Jumble and two criptoquips. A couple of times I have done the giant Sudoku (5 puzzles that overlap one another) but I just don't have the time to do that. It's not too hard though. Here is my article on Triond: http://www.healthmad.com/Aging/Short-term-Memory-Loss.71150

Every morning after I have deleted all my unwanted email. I get my coffee and play the AARP crossword puzzle I have followed this same routine for years. I really believe that it wakes up my brain before I start to do any online work.

I make time every day to challenge my melon. I like the following free site a lot because it has a good variety of things. www.addictinggames.com I'm so stubborn when it comes to these that I won't quit until I succeed. Some of them are quite challenging. Mom and I also do the big Sunday puzzle. It's like a race to see who finishes first. Every morning after I read my emails I also play solitaire on my computer until I achieve a really good score. It helps me wake up my brain and tells me if I'm sharp or off kilter, lol.

I tend to do jigsaw puzzles every so often. The site I use is http://www.jigzone.com/ . Thank you for the link, though. I'll have to look at it soon. My brain could use the workout. I feel like it's atrophying sometimes.
