WORDS, anyone?

One of my hobbies is doing wordsearch puzzles (also known as loop-a-word, search-a-word or word-find). Whenever I 'discover' a word in the tangled mass of letters, I either encircle it, box it, shade it, draw a line across it or encircle each letter and join them in a line. I also use different colors of pens.
Then there are the word games scrabble, boggle and wordfactory which I usually play with friends because they're more fun played with opponents.
Another type of wordsearch that I like: consulting the thesaurus or pressing Shift+F7 on the computer keyboard when I'm using MSWord.=)
When I find myself at a loss for words, however, I usually just pucker my lips, shrug my shoulders and smile. ;')

I love playing word games and spend quite a bit of time doing it, lol. My favorite is scrabble, I love playing with friends online . It is a great way to improve your mind and socialize at the same time. I have learned some great new words while playing and this helps me while I do crosswords or other games.

I used to love those word search puzzles, because these were the only things I could ever master and actually get out, I always wanted to be able to do cross word puzzles but just was never clever enough but those word find things are great.

haha...it's pretty much the same thing for me. when i do crossword puzzles, i usually end up with an added crease on my forehead instead of being relaxed so i ended up doing wordsearch and haven't stopped doing them ever since! =)
