I seem to be about the only one of you who's not into RPGs, war games or even computer games. My real passion is word games. Crosswords, word searches, anagrams and variety puzzles, either on paper or online. Keep me away from logic problems and I'm a happy solver. I loved the Dell magazines and even had a subscription GAMES for a while. Anyone else into these lingua-puzzular pursuits?

I think I've posted this before...it's a multiplayer version of scrabble. The last two games, 15 and 16 are for 'expert' players and are played for high scores, there's a guide link to how to get highest scores somewhere at the top of the page.

Boggle. I am a Boggle fanatic and have a hard time finding competition. Typically I like to agree to leave out 3 letter words. i also have little interest in the sorts of games you mentioned as being popular.

I like crossword and anagrams very much. One of my favorite activities as a child was to make anagrams out of names. I still do it occasionally. Macaronics are a current interest.

And they sound delicious, too. If you want to save time on anagrams, try I, Rearrangement Servant.

I'm quite a wordplay geek myself, and enjoy word games quite a bit-- Scrabble, Boggle, Jumble puzzles, and the occasional cryptic crossword...

I love wordplay! I play scrabble on www.isc.ro (downloaded client - I am Briana83), also play games on Pogo (Briana1983) such as the crossword, Word Whomp, and Bookworm! :D

I love word games when I have a shot to play them; I just like thinking and what-not. Some math puzzles can be equally as fun as well.

I particularly like that interactive Scrabble.
