WHAT DO YOU PLAY?





           Several people responded to the question “What do you play?”  Dan Ketchum suggested this be asked of the community to
           see what games people enjoy playing on their devices or otherwise. Thank you to those that responded with what they en-
           joy playing.

                                            My favorite is Waffle. It has a daily and a weekly game and if you're an Amazon Prime member, it is possible
                                            to access a free Daily Waffle Royale game as well. It is a puzzle type of word game and keeps your stats if
                                            you are logged in so you can see how you are doing over time. At the end of the game, it also lists the mean-
                                            ings and other details about the words. There is an app but I also play on my desktop through the website.

                                            Another daily game I play is Connections. It can be played through the app, or I also play it on my desktop
                                            computer through the website.  Out of the 16 words, you have to choose groups of 4 words that have a com-
                                            mon connection without making 4 mistakes. They have an order of difficulty, yellow, green, blue and pur-
                                            ple.  Some words can fit in more than one category which makes the game more challenging. https://

           One of my favorite games is Rummicub.  It is a tile with numbers game.  It comes with 4 boards to hold your tiles, 4 people can play at
           once.  There is strategy involved and makes the brain work!!

           Ruth Schulte
           USA Today website has a number of free games.  Also jigzone.com has a new puzzle every day.

           I learned about Magic Jigsaw Puzzles
           after Strong and Stable one day. It is an
           electronic jigsaw puzzle game. Each
           time you open a puzzle you can choose
           whether it is cut into 42, 72, 143, 288,
           550, or 1100 pieces. You can also
           choose whether the pieces rotate
           (harder) or not. When you complete a
           puzzle, you earn points toward getting
           more puzzle packs. I only use this ver-
           sion. It is also possible to buy puzzle
           packs.
