Brain exercises
 

I like words anyway, so I tend NOT to exercise my brain with numbers (think sudoku). I like the song games here on the fun forum, and I do email scrabble with a friend. By and large, the Facebook type games freak out my computer, so I tend to invent my own brain games.

The other morning I woke up and for some reason started thinking of words that begin and end with the same letter. So I spent a while trying to see how many words I could think of for each letter of the alphabet that fit that criterion. For example:

A - algebra, Australia
B - bob, blurb
C - cathartic, cryptic
D - druid, dud


I ended up with quite a list for each letter, but couldn't think of any for J, Q, U, and V. I'm still working on it, though. I make my own rules, so they can be proper names, foreign words, who cares? I just find it relaxing.

I am a retired Accountant, so, hate numbers games,,ugh!! I love word games. Go to Pogo and play word whomp every night.

My DD calls me in to play some FB games, but my PC slows up, too, and I have DSL. DD has road runner so, has no problem.:mad:

I also like crosswords, but haven't done them, since my glasses broke.:rolleyes:

My life is too layed back for mind boggling problem solving, so your game would be frustrating to me when I hit a brick wall, like "Q".. LOL

I would just have to google...
 

....I'm not very smart with words anymore.
I googled for the letter U just out of curiosity and there are four at this site, if you don't mind cheating. :p:
