Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

I play a lot of word games. And I likely have more time to puzzle them out. :)

I've long played 'Letter Garden' and recently beat the pants off my old high score (and I wasn't even trying for it, it is something I play 'in the background' while watching YouTube' ) and this is similar. I also play squaredle, and spellsbee, (word search type puzzles) also similar.

I'm not good at number games like Sudoku.
