It's a commonly stated fact that you have 90% of the brain cells at 70 that you had at 20, but only if you keep them active. To that end I have been doing an online crossword every night, and it's quite shockingly enjoyable.
So, I thought that I would share it with people. I think it's really well done and simple to use. You'll need Java installed, but you should have it anyway :)
Enjoy!

Thanks for the info. If you like crosswords, have you ever tried Soduko? I love those as well. This is Wikipedia's definition:
"Sudoku (?? sudoku?) listen (help·info) is a logic-based number placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9x9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 boxes contains the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid.
Completed Sudoku puzzles are a type of Latin square, with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. Leonhard Euler is sometimes cited as the source of the puzzle, based on his work with Latin squares[1]."
You can get games here: www.sudoweb.com

Sudoku is really popular these days it seems, but those kinds of things just leave me cold. They seem too much like something that a computer would enjoy! I guess with crosswords I can feel like I'm learning something, whereas those kind of combinatorial puzzles don't feel like they teach me anything - I'm certain that they would give my brain a good workout though!

Thank You for that information and your offer.According to me keeping my brain active is more important than anything.If you are not active you cannot come up in life.Active brains will be rewarded with great things so be active and alert all the time..
