I can't believe it. He wants to play that and the crossword puzzles. He never use to want to do this. He'll be 75 soon, maybe that has something to do with it? Or..I've just worn him down over time. ROFLOL.

Gave up the paper daily crossword puzzle for the interactive Words with Friends 2 (no ads). Usually have 20-25 puzzles in play every day, along with the other side games on the site.

How fun! Games with people are still the best. When we were bored, my mom hauled the decks of cards.

Scrabble is one of the favorites for Saturday Night Game Night in my house.

Family game nights are making a comeback. I do a lot of jigsaw puzzles with so much free time. I haven't been inside a Wal-Mart or Target in a year. Don't go to restaurants either.

I enjoy playing Scrabble and Word Games on Pogo.com....sometimes with friends, other times with robot opponents....

I always loved Scrabble and I play it online. I play a lot of card games online and I have actually improved my math skills. The online games keep your mind active. You are lucky to have somone to play different games with you. Keep your mind active and you will stay young.

@qualitygal That's great! I love Scrabble, but DH not so much. My parents played Scrabble throughout their lives together. They documented their best scores (high word score, high game score, etc.) inside the box tops. We still have them. My mom was a Scrabble shark, and my Dad had a tremendous vocabulary.

Oh my, I remember when we played Scrabble for hours with our friends. One night in particular we played until four in the morning, drinking wine while playing. Those were fun times, great friends, life was good back then, great memories.

I play solitaire, thank goodness there are games one can play alone when there aren't others to join in.

@Lindsays Grandma I have been playing Scrabble online for free. It is against the computer which uses a lot of words that are unknown to me. Even so, I beat it most times!

Also, play Mah Jongg online but pay for that until I can get back to real people!

I LOVE games! We used to play all of the time. One of my fellow teachers was single dad with a 3-yr. old (he had full custody). At the time he was the only one in our group of 6 who had a young child. We had game nights at his home a few times a month. He provided drinks, the rest of us brought food, and we divided into teams sometimes to play. Trivial Pursuit was a favorite. So much fun!

Where do you who play games online go to play them? I've tried to find places that are free on my own, but have had no luck. TIA!

I like playing the computer on the Scrabble App. Of course, the lexicon it uses is massive! I also like 2 kinds of Solitaire. So thankful for my Fire 10! It keeps me company when no body is around!

I love scrabble but DH won't play it with me; says I am too "competitive". I even have the super-duper deluxe version.....no luck. I am still trying to get him to play.....I am so envious of you!
