I haven't done it in a long time, but decided I should now. I actually got to
where I was before quickly. I just played until I missed a word. Some of the
words I figured out from their parts rather than actually knew, and that makes
one feel good. Since one should keep one's brain working, maybe I'll go back to
playing a few minutes a day. I used to play some pogo.com games that had me
thinking, but now I spend practically all my computer time validating or on
other of my bookshare projects and I'm not sure how much brain activity that
involves, though both reading and crossword puzzles, which we do daily, are
recommended. smile
