A good word find game still gets me even with all the other options out there. The challenge of stringing together letters to try and squeeze as many points out of a set of tiles is both a good vocabulary and spelling exercise and a great way to kill a few minutes when I need a break. Babel Deluxe provides the diversion this time around, with several different methods for stringing together letters to form words and phrases. If you've got school aged kids, it's also a good way to make learning to spell more fun than simply drilling away at the dictionary. If word games are your favorite way to play, Reader's Digest Super Word Power or the quiz show questions of Trivia Machine might also make good ways to take a break from what you're doing. Sixty minutes of free game play for each game adds up to several hours of fun.
